If a pump has a submerged outlet (8' deep in a tank) does it require more head to discharge the water?
The pump is at elevation 12 and the outlet pipe enters the tank at elevation 8 but extends to the bottom of the tank at elevation 0 (8 feet of outlet pipe is submerged in water).
The book does not add this into the solution but it states "this solution assumes no exit/ entrance losses".
I am referring to question 3 in chapter 18 of the CERM book.
Does the pump need more head to push to the water out of the end of the discharge hose which is submerged?
Thank you in a advance.
