Gasoline at 20°C is pumped through a smooth 12-cm-diameter pipe 10 km long, at a flow rate of 75 m³/h (330 gal/min). The inlet is fed by a pump at an absolute pressure of 24 atm. The exit is at standard atmospheric pressure and is 150 m higher. Estimate the frictional head loss h, and compare it to the velocity head of the flow V(2g). (These numbers are quite realistic for liquid flow through long pipelines.)
