For the system shown in Fig.P4-14, a Goulds 2 X 3-13 (Fig.4-18) with a 12-in.rotor is used to pump 250 gpm from the lower to the upper reservoir. The liquid being pumped is water at 175°F.
(a) Neglecting friction, what restrictions are there on the pump’s location?
(b) If friction were considered, would it increase or decrease the allowable range of the pump’s location? Explain.
