Question details

Water is to be taken from a purification unit to a storage tank by using two flow circuits as shown below in the figure. The efficiency h of each pump, in percent is given as 4. 7 32+4-0.2() and the pressure head P, in meters of water, versus mass flow rate m in kilograms per second is given below for the two pumps as P 20-m and -10-0.51n Tank Pumps 2 Purification plant Either both or a single pump may be used at a given time. If the energy consumption is to be minimized, formulate the optimization problem and present the resulting method of filling the tank.
