2. Water is pumped from reservoir A at elev. 15 m by a 150mm diameter pipe 200m long with a friction factor of 0.025. It discharges vertically to a higher elevation by a 100mm diameter pipe. Point X in the suction pipe(just before the pump) is the same level with that of the pump and is 3m above A. Point Y in the delivery pipe is 4.50m above X. The rate of flow is 115 lit/s and the power supplied by the pump is 25000 watts. Determine the a. Pressure at X in kPa b. Pressure at Y in kPa
