Question

A oil at 20°c (v=0.800km/s) is flowing steadily through a 5cm diameter and 40m long pipe the pressure at the pipe inlet and outlet are measured to be 745 and 97kpa. Determine the flow rate of oil through the pipe assuming the pipe is I) horizontal b) inclined 15° upward and 15° downward and also verify that the flow through the pipe is laminar

Answer 1

Answer:

Oil at 20°C (?=888kg/m3 and??=0.800 kg/m.s) is flowing steadily through a 5-cm-diameter 40-m-long pipe (Fig. 8–17). The pressure at the pipe inlet and outlet are measured to be 745 and 97 kPa, respectively. Determine the flow rate of oil through the pipe assuming the pipe is (a) horizontal, (b) inclined 15° upward, (c) inclined 15° downward. Also verify that the flow through the pipe is laminar.
