(b) As oil flows through the 20 m long, 200 mm diameter pipeline, it has a constant average velocity of 2 m/s. Friction losses along the pipe cause the pressure at B to be 8 kPa less than the pressure at A. Determine the resultant friction force on this length of pipe. Take $ ho = 880 ext{ kg/}m^3$.

Step 1
The flow rate (Q) can be calculated using the formula: Q = A * V where A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe and V is the average velocity of the oil. Given: Diameter of the pipe (d) = 200 mm = 0.2 m Radius of the pipe (r) = d/2 = 0.1 m Length of the pipe (L) Show moreā¦

A smooth-walled cylindrical pipe has diameter d = 16 cm. Oil flows along the pipe at a mean flow speed U = 3 ms-1. For oil, take Ī¼ = 3.6 x 10-2 kg m-1 s-1 and Ļ = 0.9 x 103 kg m-3. (a) By calculating the Reynolds number, show that the flow is turbulent. (b) Find the Darcy friction factor for this flow. (c) Calculate the pressure drop along a 40 m length of the pipe.

SAE 10 oil at 20 degrees C (gamma= 8.52 kN/m^3, rho= 860 kg/m^3, mu=8.14x10^-2 N*s/m^2) is to flow through a 300 m level concrete pipe. What size pipe will carry 0.0142 m^3/s with a pressure drop due to friction of 23.94 kPa?

A pipe carries oil of density 800 kg/m^3. At a given point (1), the pipe has a bore area of 0.005 m^2 and the oil flows with a mean velocity of 4 m/s with a gauge pressure of 800 kPa. Point (2) is further along the pipe and there the bore area is 0.002 m^2 and the level is 50 m above point (1). Calculate the pressure at this point (2), neglecting friction.
