It is required to transport a mixture flow of 0.03 m3/s of a silver ore tailings in the form of an aqueous Slurry through a pipe of 507 m total length, the total equivalent length of fittings is 420*D and the discharge is at the same level as the pump. The specific gravity of solids is 4, with a volume concentration of 0.24. The coefficient of drag of the particles is 0.44, the hydraulic gradient for water friction is 0.047 m.c.a/m, the diameter of the pipe is 130 mm, the average speed of the pulp is 2.66 m/s. Considering heterogeneous fluid. Calculate the drive power in H.P.; the pump works with an efficiency of 73.7%.
