A pipe tapers over 60m from 450mm in diameter to 675mm in diameter. The gauge pressure at the inlet is 75 kN/m2 and the gauge pressure at the outlet is 90 kN/m2. If the centreline of the pipe rises at a gradient of 1 in 80 and the energy loss due to friction is 0.01m per metre length determine the flowrate in the pipeline and the velocity at entry and exit.
