Question
A pipe carries a flow of 5.17 cfs of oil (SG = 0.877). At one location where the
diameter is 6 inch, the pressure is 13. 2 psi. At another location which is 12 ft
higher in elevation, the diameter is 18 inch and the pressure is 8.75 psi. Determine
the head loss between the two locations, and the direction of flow.
