You are designing a system to pump liquid methane at a temperature of 100 K from a storage tank to another tank. The maximum discharge pressure of the pump is 60 kPa, the density of liquid methane is 440 kg m3 and the pipeline is 12" in diameter and made from stainless steel. Assuming the methane is incompressible, the process is isothermal with no phase changes and any pressure drop due to friction can be neglected what is the maximum height that the liquid can be pumped on Mars where acceleration due to gravity is 40% of the value on Earth?
