Water is pumped at the rate of (0.075 mathrm{~m}^{3} / mathrm{s}) from a reservoir (20 mathrm{~m}) above

Question:

Water is pumped at the rate of \(0.075 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}\) from a reservoir \(20 \mathrm{~m}\) above a pump to a free discharge \(35 \mathrm{~m}\) above the pump. The pressure on the intake side of the pump is \(150 \mathrm{kPa}\) and the pressure on the discharge side is \(450 \mathrm{kPa}\). All pipes are commercial steel of \(15 \mathrm{~cm}\) diameter. Determine

(a) the head supplied by the pump and

(b) the total head loss between the pump and point of free discharge.
