Design a ductile iron pumping main carrying a discharge of 0.35 m3/s over a distance of 4 km. The elevation of the pumping station is 140 m and that of the exit point is 150 m. The required terminal head is 10 m. Estimate the pipe diameter and pumping head using the explicit design procedure g

Answer:

[tex]D=0.41m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Discharge rate [tex]V_r=0.35 m3/s[/tex]

Distance [tex]d=4km[/tex]

Elevation of the pumping station [tex]h_p= 140 m[/tex]

Elevation of the Exit point [tex]h_e= 150 m[/tex]

Generally the Steady Flow Energy Equation SFEE is mathematically given by

[tex]h_p=h_e+h[/tex]

With

[tex]P_1-P_2[/tex]

And

[tex]V_1=V-2[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]h=140-150[/tex]

[tex]h=10[/tex]

Generally h is give as

[tex]h=\frac{0.5LV^2}{2gD}[/tex]

[tex]h=\frac{8Q^2fL}{\pi^2 gD^5}[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]10=\frac{8Q^2fL}{\pi^2 gD^5}[/tex]

[tex]D=^5\frac{8*(0.35)^2*0.003*4000}{3.142^2*9.81*10}[/tex]

[tex]D=0.41m[/tex]
