A fountain is depicted in Fig. 3.1. A pipe system takes water from a lake, through an underground duct system, and ejects the water as a fountain with height h; = 9m. The piping has diameter 16.9cm, and it is made of an iron alloy with roughness € = 0.676mm. The other heights are given as he = 1m, hs = 2m. Compute the pump head necessary to achieve this feat. The horizontal distance between the lake and the pump is given as 8m. The horizontal distance between the pump and vertical elbow is 7m. The elbow is a 90 degree threaded elbow, and the fountain discharges through a nozzle with minor loss coefficient Kn=0.2. hj hs he WU
