From a deep well, water is being pump through a 250mm pipe, 400m long into an elevated tank. If the tank operates continuously, the water in the well draws down to elevation 25m. The pressure gage reads 450kPa and assume friction factor f = 0.02. Compute the pump discharge and the total head provided by the pump neglecting minor losses. Using a pump efficiency of 70%, solve for the monthly cost of pumping if the average pumping time is 6 hours per day and electric energy costs P1.75 per kilowatt hour.

Note: Use three decimal places and no need to input the unit. A 36-in-diameter pipeline carries oil (SG = 0.89) at 1 million barrels per day (bbl/day) (1 bbl = 42 U.S. gal). The friction head loss is 13 ft/1000 ft of pipe. It is planned to place pumping stations every 10 mi along the pipe. Estimate the horsepower which must be delivered to the oil by each pump. (in hp)
There are two vertical cylindrical tanks, one 16 meters in diameter and the other is 24 meters in diameter, both stands on the same horizontal plane, and is connected by a 0.30 meter pipe at their bases. When the valve in the pipe is closed, the depth of water in the small tank is 30 meters and the other tank is 8 meters. If the pipe valve is opened, what is the equal depth in each tank?
please consider minor and major losses

An unconfined aquifer of 50m thickness has K = 30 m/day completely penetrates a well of radius 0.5 m. The well is pumped so that the water level in the well remains at 40m above the bottom. If the pumping has no effect on water table at r = 500m, the steady state discharge would be: (a) 122.80 litres/s (c) 225.16 litres/s (b) 142.12 litres/s (d) 386.52 litres/s

Please aid me with this, i will also need to learn how to do this.
For the setup shown in the figure :
QI. s) Q1: A 1 m diameter well penetrates vertically through a confined aquifer (30 m) thick. When the well is pumped at (2712 m³/day), the drawdown in a well 15 m away from pumped well is 1.8 m; while the drawdown in another well 50 m away from pumped well is 0.5 m. Take the maximum head is 40 m. 1- Determine the transmissivity. 2- What is the approximate head in the first well? 3- What is the approximate head in the second well? 4- What is the approximate head in the pumped well for steady-state conditions? 5- What is the approximate drawdown in the pumped well?
A hydraulic jump takes place in a 6 m wide rectangular channel at a point where the upstream depth is 0.5 m (just before the jump). If the discharge in the channel is 30 m³/s and the energy loss in the jump is 1.6 m, then the Froude number computed at the end of the jump is (round off to two decimal places) (Consider the acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s².) ..
A single -acting reciprocal pump lifts a liquid of specific weight 7.50 kN/m³ from a pressurised storeage reservoir to an overhead container. The free surface in the supply reservoir is at an elevation of 5.0 m above the centre of the pump. The ambient pressure over the liquid surface in the supply resevoir is 20 kN/m². The other relevant data relating to the pump are as follows: Length of suction pipe = 5.0 m Crank Speed= 60 rpm Diameter of suction pipe = 10 cm Length of Stroke = 40 cm Diameter of cylinder = 20 cm Atmospheric presure = 100 kN/m²(abs) Calculate the pressure in the cylinder and force on the piston at the beginning of the suction stroke.
