Gasoline at 77°F flows from a pressurized upper tank to a vented lower tank as shown in the figure below. A length of 1-inch Schedule 40 pipe connects the two tanks a

 

Calculate the air pressure (in psi) above the gasoline in the upper tank that will result in a flow rate of 35 gpm into the lower tank for the dimensions shown The head loss due to pipe friction is 52.8 feet and you DO NOT need to calculate this!

 

As the upper tank drains does the air pressure in the upper tank need to be neld constant to maintain the flow rate at 35 gpm? Briefly explain your answer.

 

C The pressurized upper tank is converted to an atmospheric tank and a pump is installed in the system. If flow rate and pipe friction remain the same, how much horsepower does the pump put into the system?
