Oil flows from a partially sealed tank through 160 m of cast iron pipe of diameter 150 mm and effective roughness 0.12 mm to discharge under atmospheric pressure at a point that is 6.5 m above the surface of the oil in the tank. What air pressure in the tank in N/mm2 is necessary to cause a flow of 12.5 litres per second? (υ = 2.26×10-6 m2/s, specific gravity = 0.84). Please draw diagram and explain fast.
