A 200 ft long steel (sheet metal) pipe 3 in in diameter connects two reservoirs of high viscosity fluid as show in the figure. The dynamic viscosity of the fluid is 0.0002 lb – s/ft², and its density 1.86 slugs/ft³. The flow rate is measured at 200 gpm. Determine the elevation between the two tanks. Take into account the pipe surface roughness and all the minor losses associated with this system (as shown).

Properties of Fluids

The term fluid represents a type of substance that can easily change its shape under any external pressure/force and can flow. Fluids can acquire any shape in which it is stored and can resist normal stresses but cannot resist shear stress in rest condition. Whenever external shear stress is applied to fluids, it starts to flow. The fluids may be liquid or gas. Example- water, air, etc.
