A pump is to deliver water at a rate of 1.4 m/ s from a sump to reservoir which is 10 km away through a steel pipe 1200 mm in diameter for a length of 5 km and the remaining through a PSC pipe of diameter 1000 mm. The elevation difference between the full tank level of the Weisbach friction factor (f) of 0.018 for steel pipe and 0.02 for PSC pipe with a pump delivery reservoir and the low water levei of the sump is 50 m. What is the Break Horse Power (in kW) requirement of the motor? Assume the pump house loss of 3.75 m and minor losses to be 10% of the friction losses. Use Darcy- efficiency of 80%.

Question
9. A pump is to deliver water at a rate of 1.4 m³/
s from a sump to reservoir which is 10 km
away through a steel pipe 1200 mm in diameter
for a length of 5 km and the remaining through
a PSC pipe of diameter 1000 mm. The elevation
difference between the full tank level of the
Weisbach friction factor (f) of 0.018 for steel
pipe and 0.02 for PSC pipe with a pump
delivery reservoir and the low water levei of the
sump is 50 m. What is the Break Horse Power
(in kW) requirement of the motor? Assume the
pump house loss of 3.75 m and minor losses
to be 10% of the friction losses. Use Darcy-
Weisbach friction factor (f) of 0.018 for steel
pipe and 0.02 for PSC pipe with a pump
efficiency of 80%.
