A portion of a BI pipe carrying a certain fluid with specific gravity of 0.90 changes in size from 6 inches at one section ( designated as section 1) to 16 inches at the other section(designated as section 2). From a certain datum, section 1 is 15 feet above the datum and section 2 is 3.2 feet above the datum. Pressure gages indicate 13 psi at section 1 and 8.7 psi at section 2. The discharge or volume rate of fluid flow is 5.3 cubic feet per sec. Determine a) the head lost in feet between sections b) the direction of flow ( 10 points )
