Toluene at 35 degrees Celsius is pumped from an open reservoir to a tank kept at a gauge pressure of 150 kPa. The pump itself is 3m below the reservoir, while the discharge tank is 10m above the reservoir. Assuming friction in the suction line is negligible, while in the discharge line the friction head amounts to 7.5 m, determine the net positive suction head available for the pump. If the pump has an efficiency of 65%, determine the total power input. At the given temperature, the density and vapor pressure of toluene are 862 kg/m3 and 40 mmHg

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
