A sewage sludge is to be transported a distance of 3 mi through a 12in ID pipeline at a rate of 2000 GPM. The sludge behaves as a Bingham Plastic with a yield stress of 35 dyne/cm2, limiting viscosity of 80 cP, and a specific gravity of 1.2. What size motor (hp) is required to drive the pump if it is 60% efficient?
