As shown in the figure, a pump draws water from reservoir A (El 25m) and lifts it to reservoir B (El 60m). The loss of head from A to 1 is 2 times the velocity head in the 200 mm pipe and the loss of head from 2 to B is 10 times the velocity head in the 150 mm pipe. Calculate the pressure head at point 1 when the discharge is 0.030 m³/s. Round off your answer to one decimal place.

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.
