An expensive level transmitter (installed at the bottom of tank) has failed and the plant does not have a spare. The instrument tech tells you that the department has several pressure gauges that could be used as a substitute until the replacement level transmitter arrives. If the maximum tank height is 360 inches and the specific gravity of the fluid is 0.85 calculate the max pressure reading a replacement pressure gauge must display for this application. You may assume the tank is vented to the atmosphere.

Flow over lengthy pipelines is seen in oil processing. A pipeline with a 4-inch schedule 40 steel pipe is transporting oil at a rate of 25 gallons per minute. The oil has a viscosity of 20 cP and a specific gravity of 0.85. The line is slanted, and the static pressure at one point in the line is 50 psig. Compute the static pressure in psig at a location in the line 100 feet further along the flow direction and 20 feet lower in elevation. - Please indicate the given. I need the answer as soon as possible. Thank you very much

Crude oil (with specific weight γoil = 55 lb/ft3 ) is pumped at a rate of 400 gallons per minute from a test separator at A to the stock tank shown using a pipe that has a diameter of 4 inches. The pressure at A (to the left of the pump or prior to the pump) is 4 psi and the stock tank is open to the atmosphere. The friction head loss along the entire length of the pipe from A to B is 45 inches. Note that 1ft3 = 7.48 gallons. (a) Determine the velocity in the pipe. (b) Determine the head gain, ℎ??, delivered by the pump to the flow. (c) Determine the power required to run the pump if it is 90% efficient.
