Gasoline at 20°C is pumped through a smooth 12-cm-diameter pipe 10 km long, at a flow rate of 75 m /h (330 galpain). The inlet is fed by a pump at an absolute pressure of 24 atm. The exit is at standard atmospheric pressure and is 150 m higher. Estimate the frictional head loss h, and compare it to the velocity head of the flow V(2g). (These numbers are quite realistic for liquid flow through long pipelines.)

Transcribed Image Text:Gasoline at 20°C is pumped through a smooth 12-cm-diameter pipe 10 km long, at a flow rate
of 75 m'/h (330 galpain). The inlet is fed by a pump at an absolute pressure of 24 atm. The exit
is at standard atmospheric pressure and is 150 m higher. Estimate the frictional head loss h, and
compare it to the velocity head of the flow V/(2g). (These numbers are quite realistic for
liquid flow through long pipelines.)
