Hint: Use the performance curves in Problem 2 for the pump. b' Pump 247 Reservoir Zo' O The pump should be located at least 1.99 ft above the water surface in the reservoir. O The pump should be located at least 1.99 ft below the water surface in the reservoir. O The pump should be located at least 3.78 above the water surface in the reservoir. O The pump should be located at least 3.78 ft below the water surface in the reservoir.
Tank A has an elevation of 100 m and Tank B has an elevation of 160 m. Since Tank A is lower than B, engineers have installed a pump near A to transfer fluid to B. The discharge in the pipe is at 0.65 cubic meters per second and pipe has a length of 1 km. with a diameter of 0.6 meters. If Hazen williams coefficient is equal to 120, compute the head loss in the pipe.
