The drinking water to a village is supplied from a reservoir which is 475 m above and 25 km away from the village. The water is transported from the reservoir to an open-top storage tank in the village via a circular pipe with a diameter of 18 cm and a roughness of 0.15 mm. The population of the village is 1500 people. There are two valves (K=2) and five 90° elbows (K=1.5) along the pipe. Assuming that an average person in the village consumes 225 L/day, determine the power (kW) of the pump needed to transter the water from the reservoir to the storage tank. You can take the density and viscosity of water as 1000 kg/m and 0.001 kg/m s, respectively, and you can neglect the inlet and exit losses and the kinetic energy correction factor effects.
