**Problem Statement:**

Calculate the power required to pump sulphuric acid (dynamic viscosity 0.04 Pa·s, relative density 1.83) at 45 L·s⁻¹ from a supply tank through a glass-lined 150 mm diameter pipe, 18 m long, into a storage tank. The liquid level in the storage tank is 6 m above that in the supply tank. For laminar flow, \( f = \frac{16}{Re} \); for turbulent flow \( f = 0.0014(1 + 100 \times Re^{-1/3}) \) if \( Re < 10^7 \). Take all losses into account.

**Explanation of Formulae and Terms:**

- **Dynamic Viscosity (\(\mu\))**: A measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, given as 0.04 Pa·s.
  
- **Relative Density**: The ratio of the density of the fluid to the density of a reference substance (usually water), given as 1.83.

- **Flow Rate**: Given as 45 L·s⁻¹ (liters per second).

- **Pipe Specifications**:
  - Diameter: 150 mm
  - Length: 18 m

- **Elevation Difference**: 6 m (height difference between liquid levels in the tanks).

- **Reynolds Number (\(Re\))**: A dimensionless quantity used to predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations.

- **Friction Factor (\(f\))**:
  - **Laminar Flow**: \( f = \frac{16}{Re} \)
  - **Turbulent Flow**: \( f = 0.0014(1 + 100 \times Re^{-1/3}) \) provided \( Re < 10^7 \).

The problem involves determining the power needed to overcome resistances and elevate the fluid, using the given equations for friction factors in laminar and turbulent flow regimes.
