A wtp operator is trying to size a pump that takes water


A WTP Operator is trying to size a pump that takes water from a WTPholding tank and sends it to a house on a hill above theplant. The operator's goal is to have 60 psi of waterpressure entering the house. The operator knows thatthe head loss (major+minor) from the holding reservoir to the pumpis three times the velocity head in the 8 inch diameter pipe, andthe head loss from the pump to the house is seen times the velocityhead of the pipe. If the pressure head at the inlet of thepump is -8ft and the velocity head entering the house is the sameas the velocity head in the pipe at the pump, determine whatpressure head is needed from the pump to achieve the operator'sgoal of 60 psi of water pressure. (hint: notice the velocityhead at the house is the same as the velocity head in the pipe atthe pump
