Question
In an expansion phase for an existing system Engineers determined that they need Q=1.20 [m^3/s] of flow from Reservoir_A to Reservoir_B.
Surface Water level at "A" 55.0 [m];
Surface Water level at "B" 80.0 [m].
PipeLine_length: 1500 [m],
Desired Discharge = 1.20 [m^3/s];
Darcy-Weisb fric fact = 0.015
Min losses:
K_inlet = 0.5
K_valve = 5.5
K_bend = 0.3
K_exit = 1.0
Pump charact.: see below.
You are allowed
1) to add a second pump (same characteristics)
2) to adjust the System Curve: H_syst=H_static + H_dynamic
all other parameters remain the same, i.e. length of pipe, roughness coefficient, minor loss coefficients.
What is it that you can manipulate/change and what is the new dimension; in [m]?
