Question

A pipeline to deliver 0.2 m3/s water from a river to a city 30 km away is to have pumps installed to cause the water to flow. The number n of equally spaced pumps is to be determined. The lifetime cost of a pump is $3000 $1.3(hp Kg/Nm)12 where the head rise hp provided by the pump is used to supply the head loss hu of turbulent now /hu ,friction factor f ~ 0.02)and the lifetime cost of the pipe is $3x 106 (D/m)15, Write the objective function and the constraint for minimizing the lifetime cost. Determine the optimal number of pumps. 2gc 1.5
