EML 4706 -

Two water tanks, A and B, are 1.5km apart and you have been tasked with connecting the two reservoirs

together so you can transfer water from one reservoir to another. The two reservoirs are open to

atmosphere and the surface of the two reservoirs is at the same level.

Your goal is to achieve a volumetric flow rate of at least 1 m³/s using a pump that outputs 20kW of

power. Select a pipe material and size that would be appropriate for this application. You might have to

research how to include power in a conservation of energy equation (covered in previous courses).

Make any assumptions you feel are necessary. You do not need to consider minor losses if you choose

not to.
