Water from a reservoir is pumped all over a hill through a pipe 1 m in diameter. A pressure of 20 kPa is maintained at the summit, where the pipe is 90 m above the reservoir. The quantity pumped is 1.4 m³/s, and by reason of friction in the pipe and the pump there is a 3 m head loss between reservoir and summit. 1. Draw the system of reservoir, pump, pipe and summit. 2. What is the head added due to the pump? 3. What amount of energy must be furnished to the water each second by the pump?
