A centrifugal pump is used to supply a highly viscous fluid to a chemical plant. The chemicalplant is located at a height of 20 m from the pumping station level. The flow rate required tobe pumped is 0.005 m3 /s. The pipe diameter used for pumping is 30 cm and the total length ofthe pipeline is 50 m. The pipe exits to atmospheric conditions. Compute the Reynolds numberand determine whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. Determine the pressure that should bedelivered by the pump at its exit in order to maintain the flow.
