Question: Liquid acetone is pumped from a ground level storage tank to the top of a pressurized reaction vessel at a flowrate of 6 . 5

Liquid acetone is pumped from a ground level storage tank to the top of a pressurized reaction vessel at a flowrate of 6.5kgs. The pump is rated as 2.0hp(1.49kW) and it operates with approximately 70% efficiency. The storage tank is maintained at atmospheric pressure and the reaction vessel operates at 3 atm (absolute). At the inlet to the reaction vessel, the fluid velocity is 5ms. If the liquid level in the tank is controlled to be at least 0.5m, what is the maximum height for the reaction vessel?
