Question
The inlet of a centrifugal pump is 7 ft above a water surface level. The reentrant inlet (KIN = 1)
includes 12 ft of 2 in. pipe (k, = 0.0002 ft) and contains one long sweep elbow (Kel = 0.41). The 2 in.
outlet line discharges to the atmosphere and contains two long sweep elbows and one check valve
(Kcv = 2.1) in its 200 ft length. The discharge is 20 ft above the original water surface. Given the
attached pump curve, determine the flow of water at 70°F (u = 1.059 x 10-5 ft²/s).
