Water at 40 °C is pumped from an open tank through a smooth horizontal pipe of length L = 150 m of diameter D = 4 cm as shown in the figure and discharges into the atmosphere with a velocity V = 2 m/s. The water elevation in the tank is H = 5 m. Minor losses are negligible. The pump efficiency is 70%. Consider p = 992.13 kg/m³, v = 6.58 x 10-7 m²/s, vapour pressure p = 7376 Pa. 7. Calculate the power supplied to the pump in Watts. 8. Calculate the Net Positive Suction Head. H Pump D L V
