A centrifugal pump is to be used to pump water from a lake to a storage tank which is 165 feet above the surface of the lake. The pumping rate is to be 10 - 35 gal/min at a water temperature of 43°F. The water is used for drinking but will have to undergo filtration and chlorine treatment because there is sediment in the lake. The pump on hand can develop a discharge pressure of 60.0 psig pumping at a rate of 40.0 gal/min through a 2 inch schedule 40 pipe. a) How much power does the pump develop? b) Is it sufficient for the task? Why or why not? c) Is the pipe chosen thick enough?
