Step 1
The difference in elevation between the two ponds is given as 300 ft. This means that the water is being lifted 300 ft higher from the lower pond to the higher pond. The potential energy difference can be calculated using the formula: Potential energy difference Show more…

A water pump is used to pump water from one large reservoir to another reservoir that is at a higher elevation. The free surfaces of both reservoirs are exposed to the atmospheric pressure, as sketched in Fig. P14-39. The dimensions and loss coefficients are provided in the figure. Determine the pump power required if the volumetric flow rate is 10 Lpm. If the pump's efficiency is 85%, determine the power required to drive the pump. If the pump's performance is given by Havailable = H0 - aV-dot^2, where a = 0.0678 m/(Lpm)^2, and the Hrequired equals the Havailable, determine the shutoff head H0.
