    The document contains calculations to determine the head loss, pressure drop, and required pumping power for a pipe system. It calculates the total head loss as 55.8 m based on pipe length, diameter, and flow velocity. It then determines the pressure drop as 538 kPa and the required pumping power as 0.217 kW based on the flow rate, pressure drop, and pump efficiency. It notes that neglecting minor losses results in a required power of 0.210 kW, so minor losses can be ignored with minimal loss of accuracy.

    Therefore, the required power input of the recirculating pump is 0.217 kW

    Discussion It can be shown that the required pumping power input for the recirculating pump
    is 0.210 kW when the minor losses are not considered. Therefore, the minor losses can be
    neglected in this case without a major loss in accuracy.
