Question: A pump draws a solution of specific gravity 1 . 5 from a storage tank through 7 0 mm pipe. Velocity in the suction line

A pump draws a solution of specific gravity 1.5 from a storage tank through 70
mm pipe. Velocity in the suction line is 1 m/s. The pump discharges through a
50 mm pipe to an overhead tank. The efficiency of the pump is 60%. The end
of the discharge pipe is 15 m above the level of solution in the feed tank.
Friction losses in the entire piping system is 28 J/kg. What pressure must the
pump develop?
