A horizontal 24" pipeline carries oil of sp gr. 0.825 flowing at a rate of 15.7 cfs. Each of four pumps required along the line is the same, i.e., the pressure on the suction side and on the discharge side will be -8.0 psi and +350 psi, respectively. If the lost head at the discharge stated is 6.0 ft for each 1000 ft of pipe, how far apart may pumps be placed? Ans. 167,000 ft
