Question: ( Dont use head loss method. Solve using Reynolds number and friction factor only ) A pump rated at 8 kW pumps water from one

(Dont use head loss method. Solve using Reynolds number and friction factor only) A pump rated at 8kW pumps water from one holding tank to another at a rate of 0.015 m3/s. Both tanks are open to the atmosphere and the free surface in the receiving tank is 10 m higher than that in the supply tank. The diameter of the pipe connecting the tanks has a diameter of 0.05 m and an equivalent length of 40 m. What is the efficiency of the pump? For flow through a pipe, refer to the graph below for determining the friction factor , as a function of the Reynolds Number (Re). Read off values directly from the graph. Assume the pipe to be smooth. Given: =1000 kg/m3,=8.57\times 10-4 PasLaminar Critical
