The pump draws oil with specific gravity of 0.90 from a reservoir and delivers it to the hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder has an inside diameter of 5.0 inch and in 15 seconds the piston must travel 20 inches while exerting a force of 11,000 lb. It is estimated that there are energy losses of 11.5 lb-ft/lb in the suction pipe and 35.0 lb-ft/lb in the discharge pipe. Both pipes are 3/8-in Scheulde 80 steel pipe with inside diameter of 0.423 inch. Calculate the pressure at the cylinder.

Please include a diagram. Thank you! You have a piping system in your plant that has gotten old and rusty. The pipe is 2-in. sched 40 steel, 6000 ft long. You find that it takes 35 hp to pump water through the system at a rate of 100 gpm. a. What is the equivalent roughness of the pipe?b. If you replace the pipe with the same size new commercial steel pipe, what percentage savings in the required power would you expect at a flow rate of 100 gpm?
