Water is being pumped from one large, open tank to a second smaller

tank as shown in the diagram below. The liquid level in the second tank is $50ft$

above the level in the first tank. The pump curve for the process pump is also

shown below. Suppose the system curve has been generated using the head form

of the mechanical energy balance and the operating point was determined to be at

a flow rate of $1400ga\frac{l}{m}in.$

$($a$)$ Explain what would happen to the system curve if the second tank were raised

by an additional $50ft?$

$($b$)$ Estimate the new flow rate.

$($c$)$ What is the highest we could raise the second tank and still be able to deliver

water to it using this pump and pipe system?
