6. It is desired to pump 1000 gallons per hour of gasoline (SG =0.85) from the bottom of
a storage tank at ground level to the top of a fractionating column 27.5 m high The total length
of pipe (actual + equivalent lengths of valves and fittings) is 38.5m. The pipeline is a 5.08-cm
diameter standard steel pipe. Calculate the size of motor needed, if the efficiency of the pump
and drive is assumed to be 60%. Assume a friction factor of 0.022 for the standard steel pipe.

Given:

L = 38.5m = 126.31f f = 0.022

D = 5.08 cm = 0.1667 f h = 27.5m = 90.22f

S.G = 0.85 ƞp = 60 %
