    Chapter 8 Flow in Pipes 8-76E Solution The flow rate through a piping system between a river and a storage tank is given. The power input to the pump is to be determined. Assumptions 1 The flow is steady and incompressible. 2 The entrance effects are negligible‚ and thus the flow is fully developed. 3 The flow is turbulent so that the tabulated value of the loss coefficients can be used (to be verified). 4 The elevation difference between the free surfaces of the tank and the river remains constant
