Problem 1. The water needs of a small farm are to be met by Reservoir pumping water from a well that can supply water continuously at a rate of 10 L/s. The water level in the well is 15 m below the ground level, and water is to be pumped to a large tank on a hill, which is 30 m above the ground level of the well, using 10-cm internal diameter stainless steel pipes. The required length of piping is measured to be 300 m, and the total minor loss coefficient is estimated to be 10. 30 m 15 m Pump Well If the efficiency of the pump is 75%, determine the minimum rated power of the pump that needs to be purchased, in kW. The density and viscosity of water at anticipated operation conditions are taken to be 1000 kg/m³ and 0.00131 kg/m·s, respectively.
