The pump draws water from a reservoir 4 m below the pump centerline. The length of pipe from the reservoir to the pump is 150 m and from the pump to the nozzle is 1500 m. The pipe diameters before and after the pump are 450 mm and 600 mm respectively. The pressure in the reservoir is 95 kPa and the vapor pressure of the fluid is 3.5 kPa. Use f=0.02. The pump is to operate such that the discharge will be the maximum possible. Determine the maximum rate at which water may be pumped from the reservoir?
