Question: ( 3 5 pts ) The flow from a gasoline storage tank to a carburetor / fuel tank is driven by a pump as shown

(35 pts ) The flow from a gasoline storage tank to a carburetor/fuel tank is driven by a pump as shown below. The flow rate is 6.3cm3s(6.310-6m3s). Both tanks are sealed under air pressures given below. The friction head loss along the entire length of the pipe is hf=210V22g where V is the velocity in the 5-mm diameter pipe. The pipe discharges into the carburetor tank through a 0.8-mm diameter nozzle as shown. The specific gravity of the gasoline is Sgasoline=0.7 and the specific weight of water is water=9.81kNm3.
Determine the power required to run the pump if it is 75% efficient.
