A large reservoir is to be constructed to provide water to a town and it is located at 100m above the river surface. A pump was placed at the river bank as shown and it pumps water to the large reservoir. At the same time, in order for the reservoir to be constructed, the Engineers promised the indigenous people who lived 20m below the reservoir that they will be provided with water via the pipe shown in red which flows under the influence of gravity. It was also agreed upon that electricity will be provided later to the IP's using the same pipe that supplies water to them. The large reservoir is designed to provide water for about 6000 townspeople and each people requires 100liters of water per person per day El 100m Pipe Properties L= 30m D = 75mm C = 140 Pipe Properties L= 150m D = 250mm e = 0.2mm v = 1.004x10 m/s y = 9.79kN/m El 80m P El Om Determine the following: • What is the flow rate at the pump in m3/s? • What is the power of the motor if the pump efficiency is 84% and the shaft efficiency is only 80% • What will be the power provided to the indigenous people community of the turbine efficiency is only 85% and the motor efficiency is 65%
