- Fluid flow in pipes is bounded by many flow parameters. In many industries, utmost care is taken to monitor the velocity, pressure and total energy head of water flowing in pipes. A pipeline carrying crude oil (sp.gr. 0.8) flows in a pipe (300 mm in diameter) at position 1 to position 2 (600 mm in diameter) which is 5 metres high. If the pressures at positions 1 and position 2 are 100 kN/m2 and 60 kN/m2 respectively and the discharge is 18000 litres/min,
Determine the
1. Loss of Head
2. Direction of flow.
Also, draw the diagram assuming the height at section 1 as zero.
