Soda ash liquor having 1250 kg/m³ density and 1.2 cP viscosity flows through a 215m length of a 150mm-ID steel pipe. The equivalent length of the fittings may be taken as 70 pipe diameters. A venturi meter with the throat diameter of 75 mm is installed in the line shows a differential column height of 26 mm on a mercury manometer. What is the total pressure drop through the line if the roughness of the inside surface of the pipe is 0.0000457 and a flow coefficient of the venturi of 0.985. A. 0.45 kPa B. 6.4 kPa C. 15.9 kPa D. 39.0 kPa
