Answer to Problem 12.1PP
The total volume flow rate is determined below.
Explanation of Solution
First we have to find the head loss at point A and B on applying the energy equation.
Here
And then parallel system head losses for both the parts are same
Then substitute

Thehose is smooth plastic with an ID of 25 mm. The chocolate has a specific gravity of 1.1and a dynamic viscosity of 2.0 X 10-3 Pa*s. If the length of the hose is 85 m and there is a change in height of 10 m, determine(a) the power delivered by the pump to the ganache and(b) the pressure at the outlet of the pump.Neglect the energy losses on the suction side of the pump.
