The utility companies often sell electric power at night at much lower prices since the demand for electric power is usually much higher during the day. The owner of a four-story Hotel would like to take advantage of this opportunity. The owner decides to design a pump piping system that delivers water from the lake to the large pool (or reservoir) located on the roof of the Hotel. The owner wants to fill the pool from sea water during the night when the electric power is cheap and to use the water during the day. Therefore, the owner decides to hire a mechanical engineer to design this piping pump system to deliver the water from the close lake to the reservoir on the roof of the building. As a hired mechanical engineer, you are supposed to design this piping pump system by selecting the desired pipe size, flow rate and all necessary fittings, and determine the horsepower of the pump required for such a delivery.
