01: A pipeline joining a lake and a reservoir whose water levels differ by 91.4 m has a diameter of 45.7 cm and a length of 6100 m and the friction factor fis 0.008. The gravity flow is inadequate and it's necessary to install a pump halfway along the pipeline to act as a booster. The pump equation is H = 183 – 760 Q2 + 32.5 Q where H is the head developed by the pump in meter and Q the flow in m'/s.Estimate c) The percentage increase in the flow rate due to the pump. d) The dally operating cost of the pump, if the overall efficiency is 70%, and the cost of power is 0.02 $ per kilowatt- hour (kWh). a2: Tests on a single centrifugal pump running at 600 rev/min gave the results indicated below Calculate: 1- The speed of the pump and input power will be required to deliver 2.72 m' of water per minute continuously against a head (including friction) of 15.2 m. 2- The number of pump connected in series to rise the water to 42 m. 3- The number of pump connected in parallel to deliver a 0.28 m/s.
