Question: Based on data from 2 0 2 1 , the state of NY requires the delivery of approximately 0 . 1 2 9 m 3

Based on data from 2021, the state of NY requires the delivery of approximately 0.129 m3/s of hydrogen gas at 1500 psi (10.34 MPa) to satisfy its average annual energy demand. Schedule 40 ASTM A53 B Carbon Steel Pipe with a diameter of 8 inches (0.2032 m) is rated for 1829 psi maximum pressure and has been selected to deliver the gas. Assuming that between Texas and NY, there are 2400 km of pipe, calculate the pumping power (in horsepower) required to deliver this hydrogen given that the density of hydrogen gas at 1500 psi is 8.55 kg/m3 and the viscosity is 0.88 x 10-5 kg/(ms). Reminder, 1 horsepower =745.7 Nm/s.
