Liquid ethanol is pumped from a large storage tank through a 1-inch ID pipe at a rate of 3.00 gal/min.
(a) At what rate in (i) ft(lbf/s and (ii) hp is kinetic energy being transported by the ethanol in the pipe?
(b) The electrical power input to the pump transporting the ethanol must be greater than the amount you calculated in Part (a). What would you guess becomes of the additional energy? (There are several possibe answers.)
