Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications
- A liquid food (density = 1200 kg/m³, viscosity = 0.07 Pa s) is to be pumped from an open constant level reservoir (that has a fluid level of 2 m) to another open tank, with the discharge point of the pipe to the second reservoir being 7 m above the level of the fluid in the first constant level reservoir. The liquid is to be pumped via a steel pipeline system at the rate of 40 gallons per minute. The pipeline system consists of a 4-in. nominal diameter suction pipe that is 20 m long and has a fully open diaphragm valve in it while the discharge pipe is a 1-in. nominal diameter pipe that is 30 m long and has two 90 regular threaded elbows in it.

The pipe also involves a swing check valve and a fully open gate valve. The water level in both reservoirs is the same, but reservoir A is pressurized by compressed air while reservoir B is open to the atmosphere at 95 kPa. If the initial flow rate through the pipe is 1.5 L/s, determine the absolute air pressure on top of reservoir A.
