Question

3) A fuel oil (μ-900 cp, SG=0.9) flows at 700 bbl/day through 1.5 in, schedule-40 pipe over

a distance of 1500 ft. The discharge point is 30 ft above the inlet and the source, and the

discharge are both at 1 atm (absolute). What is the horsepower required for a 70 %

efficient pump? Neglect any minor losses. Note 1 bbl=1 barrel-5.61458 ft³.
