Determine the expected flow rate


A centrifugal pump is used to pump water between two large open tanks through 30m of 20cm diameter pipe. The pipeline contains four regular flanged 90o elbows, a check valve and a fully open globe valve (find each KL in the book). Other minor losses are negligible. Assume the friction factor f = 0.02 for the 30m section of pipe. If the static head (difference in height of fluid surfaces in the two tanks) is 9m, determine the expected flow rate. Do you think the pump is a good choice? Explain.
