Calculate the power needed for the pump which as efficiency


Problem

Water at 20C (ρ =998.2 kg/m3,μ= 0.001005 Pa-s) is being pumped to an elevated tank 15 m high at a rate of 0.005 m3/s through 170 m long schedule 40 pipe (ID=0.1023 m). The contraction loss, friction losses in elbows and the expansion losses are 0.102 J/kg, 0.278 J/kg and 0.185 J/kg, respectively. Calculate the power needed for the pump which as an efficiency of 65%.
