As shown in the sketch below, a pump is used to transfer water from the ground – level storage reservoir to an elevated storage tank. The length of pipe 1 is 30 m (100 ft) and the length of pipe 2 is 305 m (1,000 ft). Both pipes are 305 mm (12 inches) in diameter. Compute the pressure at the inlet and outlet of the pump for h1 = 3.05 m (10.0ft) h2 = 36.6 m (120 ft), and discharge = 0.17 cms (6.0 cfs). Use an entrance loss coefficient of 0.9 and an exit loss coefficient of 1.0. Neglect bend minor losses.
