If the flow rate of the water is to be maintained


FLUID FLOW PROBLEM-

Water is pump from a larger reservoir into an open tank using a standard steel pipe with an inside diameter of 0.0525 m. The reservoir and the tank are open to the atmosphere. The difference in vertical elevation between the water surface in the reservoir and the discharge point at the top of the tank is 21.3 m. The length of the pipe line is 305 m. two gate valves and three standard 90o elbows are part of the piping system . The efficiency of the pump is 40 % and includes the losses at entrance and exit of the pump. If the flow rate of the water is to be maintained at 3.15*10-3 m3/s and the water temperature remains constant at 16oc ,estimate the power rating of the motor required to drive the pump.
