C2. A conical tube is fixed vertically with its smaller end upwards and it forms a part of the pipeline. The diameter at the smaller end is 245 mm and at the larger end is 467 mm. The length of the conical tube is 1.8 m and the flow rate of the oil is 128 liters/s. The pressure at the smaller end is equivalent to a head of 9.7 m of oil.

Water is pumped from a reservoir to a pressurized storage tank (P = 150 kPa gauge) atop a building by means of a centrifugal pump. There is a 70-m difference in elevation between the water surface in the reservoir and the end of the discharge line. The piping system consists of 80m of 5" SCH 40 steel pipe containing two 90o elbows, one gate valve, one rotary water meter, and six couplings from the reservoir to the pump; 3" SCH 40 steel pipe for 86m to the tank.
