Find the height to which the water can be delivered - a


A centrifugal pump delivers water at the rate of 0.22 m3/s from a reservoir at ground level toanother reservoir at a height H, through a vertical pipe of 0.2m diameter.

Both the reservoirs areopen to atmosphere. The power input to the pump is 90 kW and it operates with an efficiency of75%.

Data: Fanning friction factor for pipe flow is f = 0.004. Neglect other head losses Take gravitational acceleration, g = 9.8 m/s2 and density of water is 1000kg/m3.

The height H, in meters, to which the water can be delivered (up to one decimal place) is____.
