A pump is installed to deliver water from a reservoir of surface elevation zero to another of elevation 290 ft. The 10-in-diameter suction pipe (f=0.022) is 90 ft long, and the 8-in-diameter discharge pipe (f=0.028) is 4900 ft long. The pump characteristic is defined by h,=365–20Q where hp, the pump head, is in feet and Q is in cubic feet per second. Compute the rate at which this pump will deliver water under these conditions.
