The below figure shows a pump that transfers a steady stream of 35 API crude oil from an oil
tanker to a refinery storage tank, both free surfaces being open to the atmosphere. The
effective length-including fittings-of the commercial steel pipe is 6,000 ft. The discharge
at point 4 is 200 ft above the pump exit, which is level with the free surface of oil in the
tanker. However, because of an intervening hill, point 3 is at a higher altitude than point 4.
Losses between points 1 and 2 may be ignored.
The crude oil has the following properties:
Density p = 53 lbm/ft3; Viscosity u = 13.2 cP;
Vapour Pressure Pv = 4.0 psia

CASE 1- Type Problem
If the pipeline is Schedule 40 with a nominal diameter of 6 in., and the required flow rate is
506 gpm, what pressure P2 is needed at the pump exit? Solve the problem first by manual
calculations.
