If you have 10 pumps of 30 HP each + 5 standby, responsible for elevating water from a ground tank to the top of a building through a pipe of 0.2 meters diameter, 0.1 friction factor and 250 meters length with a velocity of 1.2 m/s. Calculate the height of the building.
Suppose the pump of Fig. is situated between two water tanks with their free surfaces open to the atmosphere. Which free surface is at a higher elevation—the one corresponding to the tank supplying water to the pump inlet, or the one corresponding to the tank connected to the pump outlet? Justify your answer through use of the energy equation between the two free surfaces.
Find the specific energy of flowing water through a rectangular channel of width 5 m when the discharge is 10~m^{3}/s and depth of water is 3 m.
