Methanol (SG =0.8335, viscosity is equal to that of water) is being transported from a very large reservoir and is entering at a standard 1.25-in S40 pipe at an absolute pressure of 14.7 psia. The methanol is transported at a total of 1450 ft and passes through 15 standard ells, 5 gate valves (open),6 tees (standard), and 4 tees (as ell, entering branch). The methanol is discharged 22 ft above the inlet at a gauge pressure of 8 psig. If the fluid flows at a rate of 30 gpm and the pump have an efficiency of 50%, calculate the actual power needed in kW.
a.3.5
b.8000
c.2.4
