fluid mechanics
A pipeline is constructed to transfer drinking water from the top of a lake to an open-top storage tank in a town. The distance from the lake to the storage tank is 15km, and the elevation of the storage tank is 500m above the lake. There are 10,000 people living in the town. You can assume the town is in İstanbul, Ankara or Izmir. Choose an appropriate diameter so that the velocity in the pipe is between 0.7m/s and 3.0m/s. There are four angle valves and two threaded 90∘ elbows along the pipe. Determine the power of the pump (kW) needed to transfer the water from the lake to the storage tank. If the cost of electricity is 0.52TLkWh, determine the annual cost of electricity (TL) if the pump works continuously. If generating 1kWh of electricity produces 500gofCOO2 emissions, determine the annual CO2 emissions (ton CO2 ) based on the electricity consumption of the pump.
