Question

Q1. Determine the power requirement (in hp) for a motor that is needed to drive the pump installed in a pipeline that moves 3.2 m³ /s 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 overall efficiency of pump is 60%.
