Current Attempt in Progress Water is to be pumped from the large tank shown in the figure below with an exit velocity V₂ of 5.6 m/s. It was determined that the original pump (pump 1) that supplies 1 kW of power to the water did not produce the desired velocity. Hence, it is proposed that an additional pump (pump 2) be installed as indicated to increase the flowrate to the desired value. How much power must pump 2 add to the water? The head loss for this flow is h₁ = 240Q², where h₁ is in m when Q is in m³/s. Assume z = 2.3 m, A₁ = 0.04 m², A₂ = 0.02 m². W. pump2 = Nozzle area 4₂ Pump for #2 kW Pipe area A₁ Pump #1

The specifications of a certain residential deep well pump indicate that it delivers 745 gallons / hour. express this volumetric flow in ft3 / s
Consider that water is pumped a distance equal to the last three digits of 917551848 in kilometer from a reservoir (Reservoir A) at mean sea level elevation to a second reservoir (Reservoir B) at elevation 50 ft. above mean sea level. The pipeline connecting the reservoirs has a diameter of 60 in and is constructed of concrete with an absolute roughness of 0.003. If the flow is equal to 917551848 in liter per week and the efficiency of the pumping station is 75%, what will be the monthly power bill if electricity costs is the same as the highest rate of the electricity provider of your community in cents/kwh?
