A pump takes water at 60°F from a large reservoir and delivers it to the bottom of an open elevated tank 25 ft above the reservoir surface through a 3 inch ID pipe. The inlet to the pump is located 10 ft below the water surface, and the water level in the tank is constant at 160 ft above the reservoir surface. The pump delivers 150 gal/min. If the total loss of energy due to friction in the piping system is 35 ft·lbf/lb, Calculate the horsepower required to do the pumping. The pump and its motor have an overall efficiency of 55 %. i. What is Delta Z (Z2 - Z1) ? in ft. ii. Determine the theoretical shaft work required in foot-pound force per pound mass.. iii.Determine the actual shaft work needed for this particular mass flow rate in (ft-lbf)/s.
