Question:

A pumping system is to be designed to pump crude oil a distance of 1 mile in a 1 foot-diameter pipe at a rate of 3860 gpm. The pressures at the entrance and exit of the pipe are atmospheric, and the exit of the pipe is 210 feet higher than the entrance. The pressure loss in the system due to pipe friction is 60 psi. The specific weight of the oil is 53 lbf/ft3. Find the power, in horsepower, required for the pump.
