Question: Liquid methanol is pumped from a large storage tank through a 1-in.ID pipe at a rate of 3.00gal/mm. (a) At what rate in (i) ft

Liquid methanol is pumped from a large storage tank through a 1-in.ID pipe at a rate of 3.00gal/mm.

(a) At what rate in (i) ft ∙ lbf/s and (ii) hp is kinetic energy being transported by the methanol in the pipe?

(b) The electrical power input to the pump transporting the methanol must be greater than the amount you calculated in part (a). What would you guess becomes of the additional energy?
