- Methyl alcohol at 25°C (ρ = 789 kg/m³, μ = 5.6 × 10-4 kg/m∙s) flows through the system below at a rate of 0.015 m³/s. Fluid enters the suction line from reservoir 1 (left) through a sharp-edged inlet. The suction line is 10 cm commercial steel pipe, 15 m long. Flow passes through a pump with efficiency of 76%. Flow is discharged from the pump into a 5 cm line, through a fully open globe valve and a standard smooth threaded 90° elbow before reaching a long, straight discharge line. The discharge line is 5 cm commercial steel pipe, 200 m long. Flow then passes a second standard smooth threaded 90° elbow before discharging through a sharp-edged exit to reservoir 2 (right). Pipe lengths between the pump and valve, and connecting the second elbow to the exit are negligibly short compared to the suction and discharge lines. Volumes of reservoirs 1 and 2 are large compared to volumes extracted or supplied by the suction and discharge lines. Calculate the power that must be supplied to the…arrow_forwardcan you help me figure out the calculations so that i can input into autocad? Not apart of a graded assinment.
