A pump with an overall efficiency of 60% is pumping an acid (p= 1800kg/m3) from an open tank (atmospheric pressure) to a reactor unit at the rate of (8 square root 8) kg/s. This unit operates at 8000 Pa gauge and the acid is discharged into it with a velocity of 0.24 m/s at a point 6m above the acid surface level in the tank. Determine the power required (kW) to run the pump if the sum of the major and minor energy losses are equivalent to 3m of H2O head.
