4.43 Water from a river is to be pumped to an irrigation ditch as shown in Figure P4.43. The water temperature is 55F. The irrigation requirement is 400 gpm. The elevation difference between the river and the surface of the water in the irrigation ditch is 30 ft. A hinged-disc foot valve with a strainer serves two functions: (1) it filters the water entering the suction pipe and. (2) it acts like a check valve when the pump is shut down.
