Problem 1 : A water tower holds a total volume of 100,000 L of water (10oC). The diameter of the tank is 6 m. The bottom of the tank (elevation 1030 m) connects to an outlet pipe (diameter 1/2 m) for supplying water to the water main (elevation 990 m). According to the local guidelines, pressure at any point along the water main must be between 30 and 60 psi (including the junction point with the outlet pipe). How will be water tower’s discharge rate (in gpm) be designed?
Example 2.8. The inlet to pump is 10.5 m above the bottom of sump from which it draws water
through a suction pipe. If the pressure at the pump inlet is not to fall below 28 kN/m absolute, work
out the minimum depth of water in the tank.
Assume atmospheric pressure as 100 kPa.
