Water at 25 oC is pumped at a constant rate of 10 m3 /h from a large reservoir resting on the floor to the open top of an experimental absorption tower. The point of discharge 5 m above the floor, and friction losses in the 1-½-in. Schedule 40 steel pipe from the reservoir to the tower amount to 2.55 J/kg. At what height in the reservoir must the water level be kept if the pump can deliver only 0.1 kW?

Water at 25
oC is pumped at a constant rate of 10 m3
/h from a large reservoir resting on the floor
to the open top of an experimental absorption tower. The point of discharge 5 m above the floor,
and friction losses in the 1-½-in. Schedule 40 steel pipe from the reservoir to the tower amount to
2.55 J/kg. At what height in the reservoir must the water level be kept if the pump can deliver only
0.1 kW?
