To provide a service to a town, water is taken from a dam and raised to a tank from where it is distributed to the neighborhood. The difference in levels between the dam and the tank is 600 feet; the length of the commercial steel pipe is 40,000 feet and the required flow is 8,000 gpm. Define:
a) the necessary pumping station
b) The type of pumps
c) The turning speed
d) Diameter of impellers
e) Power necessary to provide this service.

e). Power= density×Q×g×H = 1000

Density of water=1000 kg/m^3;

Q= 17.84 ft^3/s = 0.5052 m^3/s

g=9.81 m/s^2

H=600 ft = 182.88 m

Power=1000 * 0.5052 * 9.81 * 182.88=906.36 kW

Power=906.36 kW

All the best....

1.Water samples were taken from water used for cooling as it was being discharged from a power plant into a river. It has been determined that as long as the mean temperature of the discharged water is at most 150 F, there will be no negative impact on the river's ecosystem. To investigate whether a plant is in compliance with regulations that prohibit a mean discharge water temperature above 150 F, researchers took 50 water samples at randomly selected times...
