Sparky created a pumping system between Hydaway Lake and a holding pond on the Snowflex property. The water is used to create a fine mist on the tubing/snowboarding/ skiing surfaces. There is a pump in the system that delivers 250 ft of head to the water. The difference in elevation between the two ponds is 200 vertical ft. The various minor head loss coefficients are shown in the figure. Additional data for the problem is also included in the figure. The water temperature is 60°F. Sparky knows the flow in the system must be turbulent but does not know how to determine the pump power. Determine the pump power. This is an iterative problem; thus you must set up the equations and define the process used to generate a final solution. Define the symbolic equation then substitute in numerical values that you have or can calculate. Start with the fluid energy equation that includes major (Reynolds Number dependent) and minor head losses. You are not required and should not attempt to generate a numerical solution! The problem grade is based on the definition of the governing equations based on problem-specific input and the description of the solution process.
