Question:

Water in an open (source or supply) tank is pumped to a second (destination) tank at a rate of 5 lb/sec with the water level in the destination tank 25 ft above the water level in the source tank, and it is assumed that the water level does not change with the flow of water. The destination tank is under a constant 30 psig pressure. The pump efficiency is 75%. Neglect friction.

Determine the required horsepower of the pump.

Determine the pressure increase provided by the pump assuming the suction and discharge lines have the same diameter.
