detail answers is needed

Water at a rate of 648m3/hr and at 30C (density =1000kg/m3, viscosity =1.01106Pas ) is delivered to a reservoir at a higher elevation by using a pump as shown in Figure 1. Both reservoirs are open to atmosphere and the pipe in used is made from galvanized steel with a diameter of 250mm. The description of both suction and delivery line are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Description of suction and delivery line. Given that the pump efficiency is 60% and the NPSH required for the given volumetric flowrate is 7m : a) Analyze the system and suggest the power required to be supplied to the pump. b) Suggest the optimum design layout of the above system as to avoid cavitation, subsequently justify your selection
