A long, straight horizontal pipeline of diameter 350 mm and
effective roughness size
0.03 mm is to be constructed to convey crude oil of density 860
kg/m3 and absolute
viscosity 0.0064 N s∕m2 from the oilfield to a port at a steady
rate of 7000 m3/day.
Booster pumps, each providing a total head of 20 m with an overall
efficiency of 60%,
are to be installed at regular intervals. Determine the required
spacing of the pumps and
the power consumption of each. (ans. 8700 m and 22.78 kW) (I need a
precise answer please)
