Question:

During the production of biodiesel, glycerin is a waste product and is collected by gravity separation because its SG (1.26) is much higher than that of biodiesel. Glycerin is withdrawn from the bottom of the separation tank through a pipe that has p1 = 350 kPa gage, where D = 70 cm and the flowrate is 680 L/s. Find the pressure at section 2, which is 0.8 m higher and where the diameter has been reduced to d = 35 cm. Assume the flow is inviscid.
