PROBLEM E Oil with specific gravity of 0.88 flows through a pipe which changes from 6 In. at section A to 18 In. at section B. Section A is 12 ft lower than B and the pressures are 13.2 psl and 8.75 psl, respectively. If the flow rate is5.17 cfs, determine (a) The velocity (ft/s) at section A. (b) The velocity (ft/s) at section B, (c) The head lost (ft) between the two polnts, and (d) The direction of flow. Is It from A to B or B to A?
