Water is pumped from a supply reservoir to a ductile- iron water-transmission line, as shown in Figure 2.26. The high point of the transmission line is at point A, 1 km downstream of the supply reservoir, and the low point of the transmission line is at point B, 1 km downstream of A. If the flow rate through the pipeline is 1 m3/s, the diameter of the pipe is 750 mm, and the pressure at A is to be 350 kPa, then: (a) estimate the head that must be added by the pump; (b) estimate the power supplied by the pump; and (c) calculate the water pressure at B.

A water main line is composed of two pipes connected in series, pipes AB and BC. Pipe AB is 500 m long and 30 cm in diameter while pipe BC is 800 m long and 20 cm in diameter. Point C is 10 m higher than point A. The pressure at point C is 3 kg per square cm higher than the pressure at point A and the coefficient for minor head losses due to contraction and enlargement are 0.40 and 0.25 respectively.
