Estimate horsepower that delivered to the oil by pump


A pipeline of ID (inside diameter) 0.75 m carries oil (SG = 0.882) at three-quarter million barrels per day (bbl/day; 1 bbl = 42 U.S. gal). The friction head loss is 10 m per 1 km of pipe. It is planned to place pumping stations every 15 km along the pipe. Estimate the horsepower that must be delivered to the oil by each pump. Perform all calculations in SI units. Choose locations 1 and 2 as marked in the sketch below for applying the Engineering Bernoulli Equation.
