Question: Question 1 ( Ans: 5 . 8 5 kW ) Lubricating oil with a specific gravity of 0 . 9 and viscosity of 0 .

Question 1(Ans: 5.85 kW )
Lubricating oil with a specific gravity of 0.9 and viscosity of 0.05 Pa.s is pumped at a rate of 20Ls to a ventilated tank at a pressure of 50 kPa gage. The increase in elevation is 6 m . The pump has an efficiency of 72%. The system consists of a pump that draws the oil through an 8 cm diameter suction and discharges through a 5 cm diameter pipe. It is estimated that due to friction in the pipe, there are energy losses equal to 2Vp22g where Vp is the velocity of oil in the pipe. Determine the input power to the pump.
