carries standard air at the rate of 0.3 m3/s. 122. A vertical bulkhead 9.6 m wide by 6 m deep
Calculate the total pressure at the inlet to the duct separates two tanks. One tank contains oil of relative
to maintain this flow. Assume that for a duct, density of 0.8 to a depth of 4.2 m. Find the total
friction factor is 0.005. load on the bulkhead in MN.
