In a desalination plant, seawater at 25°C must be delivered at the volume flow rate of 60 L/min to point B. A pump is located at point 'A' 20 m below point 'B'. and the two points are connected by 250 m of concrete pipe having an inside diameter of 60 mm. ii. 111. Pump iv. 20 m For the system shown above, determine the following: i. Nature of flow through the pipe Head loss h' due to friction in the pipe Pressure difference between points 'A' & 'B'. If the pressure at point B is 550 kPa, what would be pressure at point "A". Flow Concrete D = 60 mm L = 250 m 15 5753 17 13 In a desalination plant, seawater at 25°C must be delivered at the volume flow rate of 60 L/min to point B.
