The water level in an open water tank is located 32 metres above its pipe outlet (H). The piping is formed from 3 straight pipe sections with length A, B and C which are 18, 18 and 14 metres respectively; the 3 sections are joined with two 45° elbows. The diameter of the piping is 0.15 m, and has an absolute roughness of 5e-4 m. The fluid in the tank has a density of 10 kg/m³, viscosity 0.001 Pa*s and is flowing through the pipes at 3 m/s. Determine the pressure at the outlet of the pipe, in kPa, to 1 decimal place.
