Question: 2 . A pump delivers ( 6 . 1 9 times 1 0 ^ { - 3 } mathrm { ~m }

2. A pump delivers \(6.19\times 10^{-3}\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\) sugar solution in a tank having a density of \(1200\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\) and a viscosity of 31 centipoises through a 50 m long, straight, horizontal sanitary pipe of 35.61 mm inside diameter. The end of the pipe is at atmospheric pressure. Total friction loss in the pipe is \(868\mathrm{~J}/\mathrm{kg}\).
a) Draw the diagram for the flow system;
b) Determine the Reynolds number and flow regime (laminar or turbulent flow);
c) Calculate the gauge pressure at the discharge of the pump (i.e. at the entrance of the 50 m pipe);
d) If the pipeline is NOT horizontal, and the flow in a certain part is upward, calculate the kW power needed for the pump with an efficiency of \(68\%\)(The water exit point is 10.7 m above the entrance point, and the additional friction loss of pipe fittings is \(17.8\mathrm{~J}/\mathrm{kg}\).)
