The head-discharge relationship for a certain pump can be represented by the equation H = 28- -90². The pump is fixed 2.5 m above the water surface in a river and it forces the water to a tank at a level 10 m above the pump. The suction and delivery pipes are 15 m and 740 m long, respectively and each pipe is 0.5 m in diameter. The pipe coefficient of friction (f) is 0.017. Estimate the discharge (in m³/s) at the best operating point for the pumping system. Q = 0.6 m³/s Q = 0.9 m³/s OOOO Q = 0.4 m³/s Q=1.1 m³/s

Transcribed Image Text:The head-discharge relationship for a certain pump can be represented by the equation H = 28 -9Q². The pump is
fixed 2.5 m above the water surface in a river and it forces the water to a tank at a level 10 m above the pump. The
suction and delivery pipes are 15 m and 740 m long, respectively and each pipe is 0.5 m in diameter. The pipe
coefficient of friction (f) is 0.017. Estimate the discharge (in m³/s) at the best operating point for the pumping system.
Q = 0.6 m³/s
Q = 0.9 m³/s
Q = 0.4 m³/s
Q = 1.1 m³/s
