Benzene at 20 0C is pumped from one storage tank to a reactor (density=878 kg/ m3 ). Volumetric flow rate of benzene is 9.5x 10-4 m3 /s. The difference in the elevations of the two unit is 40m. The tank which serves as a source is open to the atmosphere while the tank which receives the benzene has a pressure of P2 kPa abs in the vapor space above the benzene. 1‐in, schedule‐40 steel pipe and 2‐in Sch‐40 steel pipe is used in suction and discharge line respectively. Total friction loss of the system given as 135 J/kg . Pressure gauges in the pipeline at the inlet and outlet of the pump read (P3) 34.5kPa and (P4) 1051.6kPa, respectively. Efficiency of pump is %75 a) Calculate the power of pump (kW).

Benzene at 20 0C is pumped from one storage tank to a reactor (density=878 kg/ m3 ). Volumetric flow rate of benzene is 9.5x 10-4 m3 /s. The difference in the elevations of the two unit is 40m. The tank which
serves as a source is open to the atmosphere while the tank which receives the benzene has a pressure of P2 kPa abs in the vapor space above the benzene. 1‐in, schedule‐40 steel pipe and 2‐in Sch‐40 steel pipe is
used in suction and discharge line respectively. Total friction loss of the system given as 135 J/kg . Pressure gauges in the pipeline at the inlet and outlet of the pump read (P3) 34.5kPa and (P4) 1051.6kPa, respectively. Efficiency of pump is %75
