Question: A fluid flows through a 2 5 0 mm pipe with a velocity of 2 . 5 6 m / s . At the point

A fluid flows through a 250 mm pipe with a velocity of 2.56 m/s . At the pointP before the bend where the green arrow indicates the direction of flow, the fluid is still inside the pipe. After going through the bend at A, it then goes up the 9.4 m riser and exits to the atmosphere at B. Given that the density of the fluid is 800 kg/m3 and the dynamic viscosity of the fluid is 0.25 kg/(m-s), determine the gage pressure at pointP if the total distance between P and B is 13.5 m.
