 A pump draws oil (specific gravity = 0.86) from an open

A pump draws oil (specific gravity = 0.86) from an open reservoir and delivers it to the base of a closed tank. The pump is 3 m above the surface of the oil in the open reservoir as shown in Figure 6 below. The volumetric flow rate of oil is 10 Us. The air pressure above the oil in the closed tank is 60 kPa (gauge). The total head loss in the piping system is 22.8m of oil. The diameter of the pipe is 50 mm. The pump head (pump) developed in m of oil is 40 m. Calculate the distance between the two levels of oil (21 +22). Air GOKPa Z7m 2-30m Z Figure 6
