- A pump system is used to move water at a flow rate of 30 L/s from a lower to a higher reservoir in a city with an elevation of 1000 m above sea level. The system is shown schematically in the figure below, with ∆?=30 m. Both the suction and delivery pipes have a diameter of 150 mm and an absolute roughness of 0.3 mm. The lengths of the suction and delivery pipes are 6 and 500 m respectively. Ignore local losses and assume a temperature of 15 °C. a)Develop a mathematical expression for the system curve (i.e. the pumping head required as a function of the system flow rate) from basic principles. Name all mechanics principles implemented. b)Calculate the required pump working point.

How would you apply the use of a Parshall flume in measuring the rate of flow in a small stream? O By estimating the volume of water passing through a specific point per unit time. O By calculating the velocity of the water flow using a velocity meter. O By measuring the width of the stream at various points. O By observing the depth (head) at the constricted throat of the flume, which produces a differential head that can be related to discharge.arrow_forward
