Oil is flowing at the rate of 0.015 m/s in the system shown below. Considering all pipe friction and minor losses, calculate the pressure at A in MPa. Data for the system are as follows: • Oil specific weight = 8.80 kN/m³ • oil kinematic viscosity = 2.12 × 10-5 m²/s • DN 150 pipe: D= 146.3 mm and L = 180 m • DN 50 pipe: D = 49.3 mm and L= 8 m • Elbows are long-radius type • Pressure at B = 12.5 MPa
