A pump is required to pump water from a large reservoir to the water tower located 20 m above the reservoir (Figure 1). If 0.03 m3 /s of water having a density of 1000 kg/m3 is pumped through a 30-mm pipe. a. How much power is required to be delivered to the water by the pump? Consider the flow losses in the pipe; do the necessary assumptions.
