The water needs of a small farm are to be met by pumping water from a well that can supply water continuously at a rate of 5 L/min. The water level in the well is 13 m below the ground level, and water is to be pumped to the farm by a 2-cm internal diameter plastic pipe. The required length of piping is measured to be 20 m, and the total minor loss coefficient due to the use of elbows, vanes, etc. is estimated to be 8.5. Taking the efficiency of the pump to be 70 percent. ODL 0.0035
