A pump is being used to transport a liquid food product (ρ = 1250 kg/m3, μ = 1.5 cP) from a holding tank to a filling machine at mass flow rate of 2.5 kg/s. The liquid level in the holding tank is 10 m above the pump, and the filling machine is 5 m above the pump. There is 100 m of 2-in nominal diameter sanitary pipeline between the holding tank and the filling machine, with open globe valve and three regular 900 flanged elbows in the system. The product is being pumped through a heat exchanger with 120 kPa of pressure drop due to friction before filling. Complete the process diagram and determine the actual power requirement if the efficiency of the pump and the motor are 85 % and 80%, respectively.
