Water is pumped from the pumping station at the Mundaring weir in Perth over the Darling Ranges to a second station at an elevation of 86 m. The volumetric flow rate is 2*105 litres/min. The pipe internal diameters are 1 m at Mundaring and 2 m at station 2. The pressure at station 2 is 5.0 bar. Calculate the pressure at the pumping station at the weir. Give your answer with 1 decimal point and in units of bar. Assume the pumping station’s elevation is 0m. Use the conversions and equations given below.
