A pump operated at H, = 280- 650 is fitted above the lower reservoir, where H, is the pump head and Q is the flow rate in the pipe. i) If the friction factor in the pipe is a constant of 0.03 and other losses are negligible, determine the flow rate in the pipe. 15/251 ii) To avoid cavitation at the suction side, what is the maximum height of the pump 2,7 The vapor pressure of water is -10m.

Question 2 (a) Use the Hardy-Cross method to determine the flow rates and their directions in all the pipes of the network as shown in Figure 2 with given inflow/outflow at each junction. Head loss due to friction in all the pipes may be taken as (8fLQ2)/(m²gD5) where Q is the flow rate. The pipe diameter D, length L and friction factor f are given in the Table Q2. All other losses are negligible.
