A pipeline of length 2400m is used for power transmission. If 115KW power is to be transmitted through the pipe in which water having a pressure of 500 N/cm2 at inlet is flowing? Find the diameter of the pipe and efficiency of transmission if the pressure drop over the length of pipe is 100 N/cm2. Take f=0.026 also find diameter if pipe corresponding to maximum efficiency of transmission.
