Oil with specific gravity of 0.87 is being pumped
from a reservoir to an elevated tank as shown
below. The pump in the system is 80% efficient
and is rated at 240 kW (i.e. Pp is 240 kW).
Determine the flow rate of oil in the pipe if the
total head loss from point 1 to point 2 is 12 m of
oil. Point 2 represents the exit of the pipe.
Reference line is the ground level. The stopping
error ɛs is 3%. You should maximum have 2
iterations after the first value.
