Question

Two identical pumps are connected in series and deliver water through an 45cm
diameter, 2.2km long, commercial steel pipe from reservoir A (surface elevation = 50m) to reservoir B
(surface elevation = 100m). Consider minor losses of a square-edged inlet, exit, and swing-type check
valve. Determine the discharge, the total head added by the pumps, and the total power output. The pump
characteristics for a single pump is tabulated below. Assume that the kinematic viscosity is 1x10-6 m 2
/s and a specific weight of 9.79kN/m 3 . Plot the system and pump characteristic curves on a single plot. Be
sure to label the axes appropriately (i.e., include units). Be sure to include a legend to demark the system
head curve and the pump characteristic curve.
