What would be the required pump head (hP), in psi, to move water at 124gpm through a 3” commercial steel pipe, angled at 45 degrees, over a 75 ft high wall. Assume the pump draws water from an open reservoir, discharges at steady state, and ignore minor losses.

Water flows between two reservoirs through 800 ft of 12-inch diameter welded-steel pipe. The water surface elevation difference between the two reservoirs is 16 ft. Find the flowrate (a) assuming head loss is only due to pipe friction, and (b) Accounting for both friction losses and minor losses due to a flush square-edged pipe entrance, the pipe exit, and a half-open gate valve in the line. Assume the water temperature is 60°F

A pump is used to carry water (T =60 oF and ν = 1.217×10-5 ft2/s) from a large tank (elevation of surface = 30 ft and at atmospheric pressure) through a pipe to the exit (elevation 60 ft) at a rate Q = 1.5 cfs as shown below. The pipe is made of cast iron (ε = 0.00085 ft). The pipe segment before the pump has length L = 500 ft (three horizontal sections of 160 ft each and two...
