An oil is to be delivered from its container at 1 bar pressure through tubing to a tank at 2 m height from the ground and at 3 bar pressure. A pump, located very close to the oil container, is used to deliver the oil. The connecting tubing is a 12 m long with 10 cm internal diameter smooth steel pipe. There are 4 fully open gate valves in the line that can be used for emergency shutdowns. a) What is the velocity of the oil in the tubing? b) Calculate the total frictional head losses (in m) in the tubing. c) Calculate the total power required by the pump. d) What else would need to be considered when deciding on the pump? The oil has the following properties Density = 900 kg m-³ Viscosity = 2.5 mPa s An oil is to be delivered from its container at 1 bar pressure through tubing to a tank at 2 m height from the ground and at 3 bar pressure.
