    0 DESIGN SPECIFICATION

    The objective was to build a new pump with a 15-meter difference in water level between the
    river and the tank, a pipe diameter and length of 25cm and 30cm, respectively, and a volume of
    flowrate of 0.573 m3/s. For starters, galvanised iron was chosen as the pipe material for the
    pipeline from the river to the water tank because of its zinc coating and anti-corrosion
    capabilities. It is taken into account that the corresponding roughness of galvanised iron pipe, ε is
    0.15mm.

    The pipeline system consists of one centrifugal pump and five 90° threaded elbows that are
    used to shift the direction of the water flows in order to reach the desired place with the least
    amount of space. Water is pumped from one of the rivers into an empty tank using a centrifugal
    pump. Five common 90° smooth flanged elbows would be included in the design for a specific
    pipe position, which would be utilised to link the pipe to build a piping system and allow the
    water pump from the river to enter the tank. Two fully open globe valves are also used in the
    system design to stop, start, and adjust water flow. Before the pump machine, a filter is used to
    filter out large particles and undesired material, ensuring that the water is pure and the pump
    machine lasts longer.

    The loss coefficient of the five 90° threaded elbows, a filter, and two globe valves must all be
    considered when calculating total minor loss. Table 3.1 shows the value of the loss coefficient:

    Pipe components Coefficient of friction, 𝑲𝑳 Quantity


    Regular 90° smooth, threaded 0.3 5
    Globe valve, fully open 10 2
    Filter, Foot valve with strainer poppet disc 5.9 1

    Table 3.1: The loss coefficient, 𝐾𝐿 and quantity of pipeline components


    Furthermore, the type of pipe utilised in this system is governed by the coefficient of friction,
    which has an impact on the required flowrate. Table 3.2 lists the coefficients of friction for each
    component.

    Outlet Blade Angle, 𝛽2(°) 15 70 60
    Inlet Blade Width, 𝑏1(𝑚𝑚) 9 54 54
    Outlet Blade Width, 𝑏2(𝑚𝑚) 9 50 40

    3.2 SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE 𝒉𝒑 (PUMP)

    In order to meet the criterion, it is necessary to discover the value of ℎ𝑝 (pump) using the range of
    parameters provided after computing ℎ𝑝 (system). To activate the pump system, the value of ℎ𝑝 (pump)
    must be 25% higher than the value of ℎ𝑝 (system). Appendix A lists the number of trials and parameters
    required to determine the ℎ𝑝 (pump).
