Water is being pumped from a  reservoir with water surface elevation of 12 m to  another reservoir at elev. 69 m at the rate of 25 L/s. The  pump is located at elevation 2 m. The pipe leading  from the lower reservoir to the suction side of the pump  has Manning’s n=0.011 and is 15 m long and 250 mm in  diameter. The pipe from the discharge side of the  pump to the upper reservoir is 600 m long and 200 mm

Question

 Water is being pumped from a 
reservoir with water surface elevation of 12 m to 
another reservoir at elev. 69 m at the rate of 25 L/s. The 
pump is located at elevation 2 m. The pipe leading 
from the lower reservoir to the suction side of the pump 
has Manning’s n=0.011 and is 15 m long and 250 mm in 
diameter. The pipe from the discharge side of the 
pump to the upper reservoir is 600 m long and 200 mm 
in diameter with a friction factor f=0.02. Determine the 
horsepower required by the pump if its efficiency is 
70%.
