Question: A tank 1 . 2 m diameter and 2 m high is filled to a depth of 1 . 2 m with a latex having

A tank 1.2m diameter and 2m high is filled to a depth of 1.2m with a
latex having a viscosity of 10P and a density of 800kgm3. The tank is
not baffled. A three-blade 360-mm-diameter propeller is installed in the
tank 360mm from the bottom. The pitch is 1:1(pitch equals diameter).
The motor available develops 8kW.
9.1 Is the motor adequate to drive this agitator at a speed of 800rmin?
9.2 What is the maximum speed at which the agitator of the tank may be
driven if the liquid is replaced by one having a viscosity of 1P and the
same density?An oil having a density of 833kgm3 and a viscosity of 3.310-3Pa*s
is pumped from an open tank to a pressurised tank held at 345kPa
gage. The oil is pumped from an inlet at the side of the open tank
through a line of commercial steel pipe having an inside diameter of
0.07792m at the rate of 3.49410-3m3s. The length of straight pipe
is 122m, and the pipe contains two 90 elbows and a globe valve half
open. The level of the liquid in the open tank is 20m above the liquid
level in the pressurised tank. The pump efficiency is 65%. Calculate
the kW power of the pump.
 A tank 1.2m diameter and 2m high is filled to a
