Figure 8.9 shows an industrial storage tank from which a horizontal 100 m long pipe carries water at 25°C to a process where a bulk food product is being prepared. The pipe is a DN 50 Schedule 40 steel pipe and the design delivery rate to the process is 520 L/min. Determine the amount of pressure drop that occurs in the pipe from the storage tank to the processing system.
First, lay out a plan for completing this problem.
