Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.

Question

Water at 5°C is to be pumped from the river to the bottom of a water tower. The pump is 5 m above the river (dimension "a" on the diagram below) and is supplied by a 6.00 inch schedule 40
pipe. The tank is 19.5 m above the pump (dimension "b" on the diagram below) and is supplied by a 4 inch schedule 40 pipe. The water level in the tank is 4.3 m above the inlet (dimension "c"
on the diagram below). The pump delivers 0.021 m/s. Losses are estimated to be 1.2 m between the river and the pump, and 4.2 m between the pump and the tank.
