A gasoline storage tank drains by gravity to a gasoline truck. The tank and the truck is connected by a smooth pipe with a length of 200 ft and an inside diameter of 2 in. The tank and the truck are open to the atmosphere and the level in the tank is 20 ft above the level in the truck. Calculate the frictional losses and the mass flow rate of gasoline. (m = 0.6 cP; r = 54 lbm/ft3).

A farmer wants to pump water from a river to a very big open storage tank nearby using a 55-m long, 16-cm diameter plastic pipe with 5 threaded 90° regular bends, 5 threaded 45° regular bends, and one fully open gate valve. The water velocity near the river surface is 2.7 m/s and the pipe's inlet is placed in the river normal to the direction of water flow to take advantage of this water speed. The elevation difference between the...

There are three intermediate storage tanks located at different levels in an oil company. The discharge lines of tank 1 and tank 2 are commercial steel pipes with an inside diameter of 0.3 m and a length of 1.5 km. The oil discharged from tank 1 and tank 2 combines at a junction point 1.5 km from both. The product combined at the junction is transferred from the junction point to Tank 3 at a distance of 0.5 km from...
