Problem 2: Pipeline Design You are designing a pump for a pipeline with a diameter of 50 cm. The fluid is crude oil(p = 856 kg/m³, µ=7.2 x 10³ Ns/m²).

The pump needs to increase the head by 35 m of crude oil at a discharge of Q = 0.45 m³/s. Assume the pump efficiency is n=80%. At steady state, how much electricity will the pump consume? [W]
