(a) Water flows by gravity from one lake to another as illus- trated; the surface levels of the lakes differ by an eleva- tion of h= 50 ft. If the volumetric flow rate is steady at Q = 80 gallons per minute, what is the associated loss of available energy? (b) A pump is to be installed to pump the water from the lower lake to the upper lake with the same flow rate as above (Q = 80 gpm). If the amount of energy loss is assumed to be the same as in part (a), how much mechanical power must be supplied by the pump? Answer: (a) loss = 1600 ft-lb/slug, (b) Wpump = 2.0 hp

A pump is needed to drain an excavation at a construction site. The excavation has alength of 50m, width of 50m, and a depth of 4m. The surface of the water in the excavation lies at adepth, H=3m, from the top the of the excavation.
