Question

Water is pumped from a 200-ft-deep well to a 100-ft-high storage tank. Consider that both, the well and storage tank water surfaces are at atmospheric pressure. Using the tables in

your textbook, please answer the following: If you need the density value for liquid water, use the value at 90°F from table A-3E(a). Create a schematic representation of the pumping systema. b. Determine the "ideal" minimum power required to pump 330 gal/min, in Ibf-ft/s. C.In relation to the question in part (a), what is your interpretation of "ideal" minimum power?Why is it the minimum? d. Determine the "ideal" minimum power required to pump 330 gal/min, in hp. е.Determine the "ideal" minimum power required to pump 330 gal/min, in kW. f. Next, the shaft of the pump will be connected to the shaft of an electrical motor. If theelectrical motor has a nominal efficiency of 92%, what is your estimate for the minimumelectrical power needed in this pumping station?
