Water at 20 oC is pumped at a rate of 9.0 m3/h from a large tank resting on the floor(open to the atmosphere) to the top of an absorption tower, 5.0 m above the floor. Thedischarge is at atmospheric pressure. The pipe is 50 mm ID, and the friction losses are 2.5J/kg. The pump can supply 0.1 kW to the fluid. Find the minimum water level in the tank thatyou can achieve with a pump with that power.
