Patrick is building a cabin on a hillside and has proposed the water system shown below. The distribution
tank in the cabin maintains a pressure of 27 psig above the water. There is an energy loss of 14.6 lb*ft/lb
in the piping. When the pump is delivering 37 gal/min of water, compute the horsepower delivered by the
pump to the water.

A pump draws water from reservoir A and lifts it to reservoir B as shown. The head loss from A to 1 is three times the velocity head in the 150-mm diameter pipe and the head loss from 2 to B is twenty-five times the velocity head in the 100-mm diameter pipe. The discharge in the pipe is 20 liters/second.
Find the power delivered by the pump in kW.
Calculate the pressure head at point 1 in meters.
Solve the pressure head at point 2 in meters.
5. Oil of specific gravity 0.750 is pumped from a tank over a hill through a 24′′ pipe with the pressure at
the top of the hill maintained at 25.5 psi. The summit is 250 ft above the surface of the oil in the tank,
and oil is pumped at the rate of 22.0 cfs. If the lost head from tank to summit is 15.7 ft, what
horsepower must the pump supply to the liquid? indicate free body diagram
