Question: A crude oil with a density 9 0 0 k g m 3 flows in a horizontal pipe as shown in the figure. The diameter

A crude oil with a density 900kgm3 flows in a horizontal pipe as shown in the figure. The diameter of main oil pipeline (pipe 1) is 1000mm and pipe 2 is 500mm. If the fluid volumetric flow rate is 50,000 litres per minute, determine the following:
(a) what will be the gauge pressure difference between point (1) and (2) in kPa
(b) if a gauge pressure of pipe 1 is 10kPa, what will be the gauge pressure in pipe 2(kPa).
(a)2.39kPa& (b)7.61kPa
(a)7.61kPa& (b)2.39kPa
(a)10kPa& (b)2.39kPa
(a)10.0kPa& (b)7.61kPa
A crude oil with a density 9 0 0 k g m 3 flows in
