Question:

A vented tanker is to be filled with fuel oil with ρ = 920 kg/m3and μ = 0.045 kg/m·s from an underground reservoir using a 25-m-long, 4-cm-diameter plastic hose with a slightly rounded entrance and two 90° smooth bends. The elevation difference between the oil level in the reservoir and the top of the tanker where the hose is discharged is 5 m. The capacity of the tanker is 18 m3and the filling time is 30 min. Taking the kinetic energy correction factor at the hose discharge to be 1.05 and assuming an overall pump efficiency of 82 percent, determine the required power input to the pump.

Tanker 18 m3 25 m 4 ст- Pump
