A fluid is transferred from one reservoir to another reservoir which are open to atmosphere as shown in the Figure below. Total length of the smooth pipe for the system is 120m. The radius of the pipe given as 15cm. (a) If the flow rate through the pipes is 54 m³/h, determine the head loss due to the pump. (5P) (b) If the efficiency of the pump is 90%, what is the power input needed for pumping the fluid.
