Problem 1.

Figure 1 is a schematic of a pumping system to lift large volumes water a short vertical distance (like a hurricane dike).

Figure 1: Hurricane barrier lift system

The pump used in the system has characteristics shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Pump performance curve for hurricane barrier lift system

1. What discharge will occur for the conditions depicted in Figure 1?
2. How much power (in Kilowatts) will be required?
