Does anybody know, how to calculate total head of pump for a high rise building?
please guide me with the aspects such as
1) number of bends to be considered
2) total frictional losses
3) variation with increasing number of floors
also mention others factors associated.

Recommended for you

1) number of bends to be considered
>These must be considered along with tee's and valves. There are various sources for converting these fittings to an equivalent length of pipe.
2) total frictional losses
>Friction losses are a function of the pipe material and size, as well as the fluid in the pipe and the velocity of the fluid.
3) variation with increasing number of floors
>The more floors you have the larger your Δh as you increase your fluid's potential energy.

All the equations you need are in your text books.
 
To guide you correctly, first,open your fluid mechanic book, study it, then you can ask a certain question, the questions you have asked need a full course of fluid mechanic with a teacher, not few lines online.
