Question 59
CHNAT2 marksNeeds review
Water of density 1000 kg m
is pumped at a volumetric flow rate of
m
s
through a pipe of inner diameter 10 cm and length 100 m, from a large Reservoir 1 to another large Reservoir 2 at a height 50 m above Reservoir 1, as shown in the figure. The flow in the pipe is in the turbulent regime with a Darcy friction factor
, and a kinetic energy correction factor
. Take
m s
. If all minor losses are negligible, and the pump efficiency is 100%, the pump power, in kW, rounded off to 2 decimal places, is ____
