You need to move highly concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) at 3 kg/s. The properties of H2SO4 are: ρ=1,650 kg/m3 and μ = 8.6x10-3 kg/m s. The piping, valves and bends together have a total equivalent length of 600 m going through a pipe that is 50-mm-i.d. pipe with a roughness of 0.046 mm. The outlet of the first tank is 7 m below its surface, and the inlet of the second tank is 2 m below its surface and 13 m above the surface of the first tank. Find the power required for this operation if the pump-motor is 50 % efficient.  explain
