Question

Question 4 (25/100). Soybean oil (?_soybean oil = 919 kg/m³) is pumped through a pipe at a constant mass flow rate into a tank 3 m above. The useful mechanical energy provided by the pump is 200 J/kg. The inlet pressure of the oil in the pipe connected to the pump is 103 kN/m², and the outlet pressure is 171 kN/m². The outlet and inlet pipes have the same diameter. The fluid is in turbulent flow. Calculate the friction loss in the system.

Step 1

- Density of soybean oil, \( \rho = 919 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Useful mechanical energy provided by the pump, \( E_{\text{pump}} = 200 \, \text{J/kg} \) - Inlet pressure, \( P_1 = 103 \, \text{kN/m}^2 = 103,000 \, \text{N/m}^2 \) - Outlet pressure, \( P_2 = 171 \, Show more…
