"The capacity of a certain pump is 9780 gallons per hour with a capacity of 73.47%. A city uses this pump to extract water from a water supply from a body of water where in the intake is 11.3 ft below the surface of the body of water. A 3-in S40 is used to transfer the water through a pipe with a total length of 7839 ft having a total friction loss of 234 (ft-Ibf)/lbm. Given that the cost electrical power is 10.1 cents/kWh, what is the hourly pumping cost in cents per hour? Note that in this problem, the inlet to the pump is 24.5 ft above the surface of the body of water while the water level in the tank discharge is always 336.9 ft above the pump discharge."
