Fueloil is pumped through the piping system of Fig. P11.28 with a velocity of 4.6 ft/s. The pressure 200 ft upstream from the pump is 5 psi. Pipe losses downstream from the pump are negligible, but minor losses are not (minor loss coefficients are given on the figure). (a) For a pipe diameter of 2 in. with a relative roughness ε/D =0.001, determine the head that must be added by the pump. (b) For a pump operating speed of 1750 rpm, what type of pump (radial flow, mixed flow, or axial flow) would you recommend for this application?
