It is required to transmit 36·76 kW power from an accumulator through a pipeline 100 mm diameter and 1500 m long. The ram is loaded with a weight of 1226.25 kN and the friction loss in the pipeline equals 2 per cent of the total power being transmitted. Determine the diameter of the ram if friction co-efficient, f = 0.01.
