Fountain dimensions: Top basin: 12" x 12" x 9" tall Middle basin: 15" x 15" x 9" tall Bottom basin: 18" x 18" x 9" tall Overall: 18" x 18" x 27" tall Pump inlet: 1" diameter Tubing: 3/4" inside diameter throughout I just purchased the fountain shown for my backyard and need to buy a submersible pump for it. The pump is placed in the bottom basin and pumps the water out of a pipe just below the waterline of the top basin. When running correctly, each of the basins is 2/3 full, the water flows at 20 gallons per minute, and the head loss through the pump/piping system is 3.72 feet. If the pump I want has a 62% efficiency, what size pump (horsepower) should I buy?

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

**Fountain Description and Pump Selection Guide**

**Fountain Dimensions:**

- **Top Basin:** 12” x 12” x 9” tall
- **Middle Basin:** 15” x 15” x 9” tall
- **Bottom Basin:** 18” x 18” x 9” tall
- **Overall Size:** 18” x 18” x 27” tall
- **Pump Inlet:** 1” diameter
- **Tubing:** 3/4” inside diameter throughout

**Purchasing and Installing a Submersible Pump:**

I have recently acquired a decorative fountain for my backyard and need a suitable submersible pump. The pump will be situated in the bottom basin, drawing water from there and circulating it to a pipe under the top basin’s waterline.

**Operational Details:**

- Each basin maintains a 2/3 full water level under standard operation.
- Water flows at a rate of 20 gallons per minute.
- The total head loss through the pump and piping system is calculated at 3.72 feet.

**Pump Selection Calculation:**

To achieve optimal performance, considering the pump’s efficiency at 62%, it is essential to determine the correct horsepower required. The necessary pump size can be calculated based on these operational parameters to ensure the fountain runs smoothly and efficiently.

Problem #3 - Modeling, Mixing Problem Two tanks are connected by pipes in parallel as shown in Figure 2. Tank 1 starts with 160 lb of salt dissolved in 200 gal of water. Tank 2 starts with 100 gal of pure water. Using the diagram below, solve for the particular solutions of salt concentration in each tank as a function of time. Plot the solutions in Excel on the same plot. Note: some flow rates have been intentionally left out of the diagram below; use the conservation of mass to determine those. As a thought experiment, consider what negative eigenvalues imply. What would it mean if the eigenvalues were positive instead (what would the math say)? i.) ii.) iii.) iv.) v.) vi.) vii.) Use a conservation equation to develop your differential equation model (you should end up with two ODEs to describe the change in salt in both tanks). Write your system of ODEs in matrix form.
