A pump station must fill a 15 Million gallon tank within 10 hours each day. The pump must overcome a total head of 115 feet (this include both elevation head and friction losses). Assume the pump efficiency is 0.75 and the motor efficiency is 0.90 and the electricity cost is 0.22 $/kW-hr (1 HP = 0.746 kW). What is the yearly cost to operate the pump station? \
