pressurized tank situated above ground level contains a liquid with specific gravity of 0.9. The liquid flows

Question:

pressurized tank situated above ground level contains a liquid with specific gravity of 0.9. The liquid flows down to ground level through 4-in, schedule-40 pipe through a pump (75% efficiency) and into a tank at a level 25 m above the level of the source tank at a pressure of 550 kPa through 2-in, schedule-40 pipe. The pump power is 6.71 kW. A pressure gauge at the pump entrance reads 115.6 kPa, and a pressure gauge at the pump discharge reads 762.6 kPa. The frictional losses in the piping on the suction side of the pump and on the discharge side of the pump are 30 J/kg and 50 J/kg, respectively.

What is the mass flowrate of liquid through the system?

What is the velocity in the 2-in, schedule-40 pipe?

What is the pressure of the liquid in the source tank?

Determine whether the kinetic energy contribution to the mechanical energy balance is small.
