A pump system is used to move water at a flow rate of 30 L/s from a lower to a higher reservoir in a city with an elevation of 1000 m above sea level. The system is shown schematically in the figure below, with ∆?=30 m. Both the suction and delivery pipes have a diameter of 150 mm and an absolute roughness of 0.3 mm. The lengths of the suction and delivery pipes are 6 and 500 m respectively. Ignore local losses and assume a temperature of 15 °C. a)Develop a mathematical expression for the system curve (i.e. the pumping head required as a function of the system flow rate) from basic principles. Name all mechanics principles implemented. b)Calculate the required pump working point. What is the flow regime of the pipe flow. c)What power does the pump add to the water in the system?

If the difference in elevation between the reservoir surfaces is 10m, and the pump performance curve is given by H = 15 - 0.1Q2, where H is in m and Q in L/s. (1) Determine the system head curve (relationship between TDH and Q) assuming the entrance and exit loss coefficients are both 1; (2) Estimate the flow rate through the system; (3) If the minimum NPSH for this case is 1.5m, determine the maximum height above the lower reservoir that the pump can be placed (assuming that the atmospheric pressure Pa=101 kPa, specific weight of water γ = 9.79 kN/m3, and the water vapor pressure Pv = 2.34 kPa).
