Question

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 ? = 3.6 × 10?² kg m?± s?± and ? = 0.9 × 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.

Step 1

s, Re = (800 x 3 x 0.06) / (10^-3) = 144,000 Since the Reynolds number is greater than 4000, the flow is turbulent. Show more…
