For the figure shown, water flows at a rate of 2.5 ft3/s and the total head loss is equal to 61 times the velocity head in the pipeline. Diameter of the pipe is 8 inches throughout its length. Calculate the power (in horsepower) provided by the pump. Round off your answer into a whole number. Answer: P = hp 50 ft

From the figure below, water must be pumped from the large tank below to the nozzle with an exit velocity of 5.8 m/s. The initial pump (Pump #1) that supplies 1.2hp of power to the water is not enough to produce the desired velocity. It is proposed that an additional pump (Pump#2) be installed as indicated to attain the desired value. Given the head loss for this flow is HL = 250Q^2, when Q is in m^3/s, determine the rated power (in hp) of Pump #2 if the mechanical efficiency of its motor is 86%.
