    Booster Pump Required

    Through research the following information was gathered;

     Diameter of pipe (d) = 0.0762m


     Population of Students at the hostel=150
     Average water usage by students = 11 gallons/day

    1 gallons: 3.785 litres

    11 gallons: 41.635 litres

    Total water consumption of both students and tenants per day = 41.635×150

    = 6245.25 ≃ 7000litres

    Because some will be used for miscellaneous purpose

    1 litres = 0.001m3

    7000 litres = 7m3

    Time use to fill the tank = 1 hour

    = 3600s

    Volume(m3 )
    Discharge =
    Time(s)

    Discharge(Q) = = 0.00194m3 ∕ s

    Discharge(Q)
    Velocity of flow = (Rajput, 2008)
    Area of pipe(A)
    πd2
    Cross Sectional Area of Pipe =
    4

    π × (0.07622 )
    Therefore Cross Sectional Area =
    4

    = 0.004560m3

    0.00194
    Velocity(𝑢) = = 0.4254m ∕ s
    0.004560

    In other to determine the type of flow of the fluid, the Reynolds number Re is calculated

    ρud
    Reynold number(Re) = (Michael and Khepar, 1999)
    μ

    Where, 𝜌 is the density of the water = 1 × 103 kg/m3

    u is the velocity of flow = 0.425m/s

    𝜇 is absolute or dynamic viscosity = 1.14 × 10−3

    d is cross sectional area of the pipe = 0.0762 m

    (1 × 103 ) × 0.4254 × 0.0762


    Re = = 28434.63158
    1.14 × 10−3

    Since Re is greater than 4000, the flow of the water in the pipe is turbulent.

    The experimental work done by Blasius on smooth pipes yielded the relationship,

    0.3164
    Frictional Coefficient(λ) = 1 (Mc Keon et al, 2005)
    Re4

    0.3164
    =
    12.9856

    = 0.02436

    Frictional Coefficient(λ) = 4F

    0.02436
    F=

    F = 0.00609

    Calculating for the selection of pressure booster pump

     𝑃𝐵 =150kPa

     UA = UB is the velocity of the fluid in the pipe = 0.425m/s

     ZA is the suction head = 0

     ZB is the delivery head = 10m

     Pb= Pressure of the booster pump

    Applying the continuity equation

    QA = QB (Rajput, 2005)

    A A UA = A B UB
    Bernoulli’s equation is given as

    Σhl is the sum of head losses (frictional losses + minor losses)

    For the purpose of this design there are two 90° elbow bends and delivery pipe lengths of 10 m
