Question:
A pump takes water from the bottom of a large tank where the pressure is $50 \mathrm{psig}$ and delivers it through a hose to a nozzle that is $50 \mathrm{ft}$ above the bottom of the tank, at a rate of $100 \mathrm{lb}_{\mathrm{m}} / \mathrm{s}$. The water exits the nozzle into the atmosphere at a velocity of $70 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}$. If a $10 \mathrm{hp}$ motor is required to drive the pump which is $75 %$ efficient, find
(a) The friction loss in the pump
(b) The friction loss in the rest of the system
Express your answer in units of $\mathrm{ft} \mathrm{lb}_{\mathrm{f}} / \mathrm{lb}_{\mathrm{m}}$ and $\mathrm{Nm} / \mathrm{kg}$.
