Chapter 3, Problem 22P
An inclined gauge having a tube of 3-mm bore, laid on a slope of 1:20, and a reservoir of 25-mm-diameter contains silicon oil (SG 0.84). What distance will the oil move along the tube when a pressure of 25-mm of water is connected to the gauge?

What gauge pressure is required in the city mains for a stream from a fire hose
connected to the mains to reach a vertical height of 15m?
An inclined pipe of 4-inch ID is used to transport a
viscous oil from one open-top container A to another
open-top container B. The specific gravity of the oil is
0.9 and the viscosity of the oil is 20 cp. The length of
the pipe is 100 ft. Oil levels in these two containers are
shallow and the inlet and outlet pressures across the
tube can be assumed to be identical – both 1 atm.
What is the angle needed to maintain a flow rate of oil
of 1 cuft / second? The levels of oil in A and B do not
change – oil is continually added to A at the rate of 1
cuft / second and is continuously removed from B at
the same rate.
