We are interested in pumping biodiesel between two pumping stations that are 300 km apart, being the second pumping station 300 m higher than the first one. We need a flow rate of 0.7 m³/s using a 30 in i.d. commercial steel pipe. The pressure at the first station is 120 kPa and at the second stations it needs to be 350 kPa. Considering a kinematic viscosity for biodiesel of 4.09 x10 - 6 m²/s and a density of 874.6 kg/m?, determine the power required to pump the biodiesel from station 1 to station 2. Assume the flow is fully developed.
