A pump is to lift water from a source 10 ft below pump centerline and to be discharged to a tank 60ft above pump centerline. The installation uses 3”∅ and 2.5 “∅ pipe for suction and discharge, respectively. A pump is to handle 200 gpm of water at 80°F. The loss of head due to friction can be estimated equal to 8.5 ft. Determine: A) TDH B) WHP C)BHP if np = 60% D)time required to fill the cylindrical tank whose H = 15’ and diameter 8’ full of water.
TDH = 79.875 ft
WHP ~ 4.03 hp
BHP ~ 6.7 hp
time = 1692.1 seconds
