 1. Liquid acetone is pumped from a ground level storage tank

1. Liquid acetone is pumped from a ground level storage tank to the top of a pressurized reaction vessel at a flowrate of 6.5kg/s. The pump is rated as 2.0 hp(1.49kW) and it operates with approximately 70% efficiency. The storage tank is maintained at atmospheric pressure and the reaction vessel operates at 3 atm (absolute). At the inlet to the reaction vessel, the fluid velocity is 5m/s. If the liquid level in the tank is controlled to be at least 0.5m, what is the maximum height for the reaction vessel
