Chemistry

500 lbm/min hydrocarbon feed is pumped into the feed pointhalfway to the top of a distillation tower. The tower feed point is40.0 feet above holding tank for the hydrocarbon. The pressure inthe holding tank is 25.0 psia. The pressure in the tower at thefeed point is 85.0 psia. Assume the energy lost due to friction isnegligible. There is no significant change in velocity. Thehydrocarbon density is 55.0 lbm/ft 3 . Calculate the pump powerrequired in hp and watts.
