A 280 km long pipeline connects two pumping stations. It is desired to pump 0.56 m3 /s of oil through a 0.62 m diameter line, the discharge station is 250 m lower in elevation than the upstream station, and the discharge pressure is to be maintained at 300 kPa.

/s of oil
through a 0.62 m diameter line, the discharge station is 250 m lower in elevation than the
upstream station, and the discharge pressure is to be maintained at 300 kPa. The oil has a
dynamic viscosity of 3.645 x 10-3 Pa·s and a density of 810 kg/m3
. The pipe is constructed of
commercial steel and the inlet pressure may be taken as 1 atmosphere. Considering the
efficiency is 70%. Develop a sketch of the piping system considered.
Ignore energy losses due to contraction, expansion & 90° bends!!!
