A 280 km long pipeline connects two pumping stations. It is desired to pump 0.56 m3/s of oil through a 0.62 m diameter line, the
discharge station is 250 m lower in elevation than the upstream station, and the discharge pressure is to be maintained at 300 kPa. The oil has a dynamic viscosity of 3.645 x 10-3 Pa·s and a density of 810 kg/m3. The pipe is constructed of commercial steel and the inlet pressure may be taken as 1 atmosphere. Considering the mechanical-energy friction loss Ff, determine the power required to pump the oil if the power efficiency is 70%. Develop a sketch of the piping system considered. Ignore energy losses due to contraction, expansion & 90° bends!!!
