Fluid
A submersible pump is pumping water from a well that is
200 ft of water
through a 4 inch PVC pipe. The water then travels
horizontal distance
through a same size pipe for another 2000 ft and then is
pumped to a tank
that is 50 ft above the ground. The pressure drop due to
friction is .01 ft of
water head per 100 ft. of pipe length. Neglect all friction
losses in
constrictions valves, and bends.
a. What is the static head? show and type the math done
to calculate.
b. What is the total head? Show and type the math done
to calculate.
