Crude oil of specific gravity (0.75) is flowing through a pipe. The pipe has a diameter of 100 mm and 50 mm at the sections 1 and 2 respectively. The velocity of crude oil at the section 1 is 550 cm/s. The section 1 is 3000 mm and section 2 is 2000 mm above the datum. If the pressure at the section 1 is 0.2 N/mm2, find the intensity of pressure at section 2?

Fluid X is flowing in a circular pipe with a constant velocity ν (m/s). The fluid is cooled by a jacket kept at constant temperature, Tj. Fluid velocity is plug shaped , in other words uniform at radial positions. Assume that temperature is uniform in radial positions because of turbulent flow conditions; ρ and Cp of the fluid are constants. The inlet temperature (at z=0) is constant and uniform at To (To>Tj). Assume that thermal conduction of heat along the...
