An industrial process requires water to be pumped from one tank to another. The extraction point is 6.0 m below the delivery point, and the total run of pipe is 50 m. The pipe connecting the two tanks is a 5 inch nominal diameter schedule 40 steel pipe. You may ignore minor losses. Two differentsuppliers offer you pumps A and B (their performance curves are shown above). a) Which pump will you select b) Motivate your selection in (a) c) Determine the volume flow rate in m3 /h d) What is the power consumption (in kW) of the motor required to drive this pump (you may ignore the reactive power of the motor)
