To improve the performance of the digester in Problem 27-13, it has been proposed that a more uniform feed be employed by using a clock control to operate a pump for 5 minutes at an interval of 96 minutes. Determine the pumping flow rate and the approximate number of cycles per day. (The spreadsheet solver tool may be useful for this solution.) Use this flow rate to select a pipe diameter and estimate the friction headloss.
