Question

The pump is used to transfer carbon
tetrachloride in a processing plant from a storage tank A to the mixing tank C.
If the head loss due to friction in the pipe and in the pipe fittings is 1.8 m,
and the diameter of the pipe is 50 mm, determine the power developed by the
pump when h = 3 m. The velocity at the pipe exit is 10 m/s. The storage tank is
opened to the atmosphere. Take ct = 1590 kg/m3.

POWER REQUIREMENT IN CENTRIFUGAL PUMP
Given data:
Density of carbon Tetrachloride (ϼ )= 1590 kg/m3
Velocity of pipe at exit (V)= 10 m/s
Diameter of pipe (D) = 50 mm = 0.05 m 
Head required = 3 m 
Head loss due to Friction = 1.8 m 
Solution: 
1) Total head Required calculation:
