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?
Added by Cristina P.
Step 1
Determine the Reynolds number (Re) to determine the flow regime (turbulent or laminar): Re = (rho x V x D) / mu where rho is the density of the oil, V is the velocity of the oil, D is the diameter of the pipe, and mu is the viscosity of the oil. Assuming Show more…

Oil under a pressure of 20 kPa is moving in a 5 cm diameter pipe at 4 m/s. The pipe goes up an incline to a new height that is 2 m above the original height. What is the new pressure? The density of the oil is 900 kg/m³. 2.4 kPa 135 kPa 34 kPa 3.2 kPa
