Question

5.1.5.Determine the power requirement (kW) for a motor that is needed to drive the pump installed in a pipeline that moves 2.05 m³/sec from reservoir A to reservoir B. The

100-m-long, 80-cm-diameter pipe is made of rough concrete. The water surface of reservoir B is 20 m higher than the water surface of reservoir A. The pump efficiency is 80% and the motor efficiency is 74%. [10]
