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?

A centrifugal pump is to be used to pump water from a lake to a storage tank which is 165 feet above the surface of the lake. The pumping rate is to be 10 - 35 gal/min at a water temperature of 43°F. The water is used for drinking but will have to undergo filtration and chlorine treatment because there is sediment in the lake. The pump on hand can develop a discharge pressure of 60.0 psig pumping at a...
