Water is pumped from a river through a 150mm diameter pipeline 950m to an open storage tank with a water level 45m above the river. A pump is available and has the discharge head performance characteristics shown below. a. Calculate the duty point for the pump when the Darcy friction factor for the pipeline f= 0.04. b. Determine the revised duty point when a second similar pump is connected in parallel into the system. Total head 30 50 65 80 87 94 (m) Discharge 2000 1750 1410 800 500 0 (1/min)
