A pump is used to transport water at 728F from tank A to tank B at a rate of 200 gpm. Both tanks are vented to the atmosphere. Tank A is 6 ft above the ground with a water depth of 4 ft in the tank, and tank B is 40 ft above ground with a water depth of 5 ft . The water enters the top of tank B, at a point 10 ft above the bottom of the tank. The pipeline joining the tanks contains 185 ft of 2 in. sch 40 galvanized iron pipe, three standard elbows, and one gate valve.

(a) If the pump is 70% efficient, what horsepower motor would be required to drive the pump?

(b) If the pump is driven by a 5 hp motor, what is the maximum flow rate that can be achieved, in gpm?
