8. A pump draws a solution of specific gravity 1.84 from a storage tank of large section through 8cm id pipe. The velocity in the suction pipe is 1m/s. The pump discharges through 5cm id pipe to an overhead tank. The end of discharge line is 15m above the level of solution in the tank. Friction loss in the entire system may be taken as 3m of solution. What pressure must the pump developed and what is theoretical HP required doing this pumping. 10
