Metrology of surface finish

In general terms, the application of scientific principles in the study of measurements is known as metrology. When speaking about measurement, it could be of time, length, microstructures, grain structures, internal crystal discontinuities, surface roughness, measurements of angles, height, width, and so on. While coming to the domain of mechanical engineering, metrology is considered the science of measurements of surface finish, length, surface texture, and angles.

- Dynamic viscosity: 0.638 lbs/s-ft
- Flow rate: 20 cfs
- Pipe material: Galvanized iron
- Pipe diameters: 24 inches at both ends

#### Section Lengths:

#### Pressures:
- Initial pressure = 50 psi
- Final pressure = 45 psi

#### Diagram Explanation:
The provided diagram shows a fluid system with multiple pipe sections and bends, connecting two points with different pressures through a pump.

1. The system begins with a pipe with pressure \( P = 50 \) psi.
2. The fluid travels through a straight section \( L_1 \), followed by a vertical drop equivalent to \( L_2 \).
3. After \( L_2 \), the fluid enters the pump, travels through section \( L_3 \), and then through a final section \( L_4 \).
4. The discharge end of the pipe has a pressure \( P = 45 \) psi.

The diagram indicates changes in fluid elevation and the connection through the pump.
