Question
**Fluid Transport in Engineering**

In this scenario, water is pumped from a reservoir to the top of a mountain through a 1800-meter long, 6-inch schedule 120 pipe at an average velocity of 5 m/s. The pipe discharges into a pressurized storage tank located 1500 meters above the reservoir level. This storage tank maintains a gauge pressure of 1520 mm Hg and has a total capacity of 2000 cubic meters.

Given that the overall efficiency of the pump is 70% and the electricity cost to the motor is 5 cents per kW-h:

**Questions:**
1. What is the total cost to pump water and fill the storage tank?
2. Repeat the calculation if the storage tank pressure is lowered by 760 mm Hg.
3. Redo part (a) if the water is replaced with glycerol (Specific Gravity = 1.26; Viscosity = 1412 cP) and the pump efficiency changes to 50%.

*Note: For turbulent flow, use the friction factor \(f = 0.184 \times \text{Re}^{-0.2}\).*

**Unit Expectations:**
- (a) \(10^2\) 
- (b) \(10^2\) 
- (c) \(10^3\) 

**SI Constants:**
- \( \text{Atmospheric pressure} = 10^5 \) Pa
- \( \text{Density of water} \approx 1000 \text{ kg/m}^3 \)
- \( \text{Density of air} \approx 1.2 \text{ kg/m}^3 \)
- \( \text{Viscosity of water} \approx 10^{-3} \text{ Ns/m}^2 \)
- \( \text{Viscosity of air} \approx 2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ Ns/m}^2 \)
- \( g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2 \)

**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram shows a reservoir at the base, connected to a vertical pipe reaching the storage tank 1500 meters above.
