b) As the engineer for your company, you have been assigned to design a pipeline system. The information given to you is that the pipeline is horizontal and has a pipe with a diameter of 0.6 meters. It will be used to transport oil with a specific gravity of 0.825, flowing at a rate of 0.44 m/s. There will be four identical pumps installed along the pipeline, and these pumps should maintain a pressure of 20 bar on the suction side and 24.1 bar on the discharge side. The main goal of this project is to ensure the proper flow of oil through the system while minimizing head loss. You were informed that the maximum allowable head loss is 6.0 meters for every 1000 meters of pipe at the discharge line. Your first task as an engineer for this project is to determine the maximum allowable distance between the pumps to optimize the design and maintain efficient oil flow. Sketch and show your detail calculations. (Note: 1 bar = 100 kPa). (4 mark) b) As the engineer for your company, you have been assigned to design a pipeline system.
