i want complete answers step by step Details pipe Diameterm
Solution
Pipe diameter, D = 225 mm = 0.225 m
for lamilar flowin a pipe, Renolds no., Re is 2000.
kinematic viscosity of crude oil at 1atm 40 deg C, K =
so, velocity in the pipe will be, V = (Re x K) / D = (2000 x 9.7 x 10-6) / 0.225 m/s
= 0.086 m/s
so, Flow rate through the pipe = velocity x pipe area
= 0.086 x [(3.14/4) x 0.2252]
= 0.0034 m3/s
So flow through pipe per day = 0.0034 x 3600 x 24 = 293.76 m3
1. Maximum pumping rate in barrels per day = 293.76 / 0.159 = 1848 barrel. [ 1 barrel = 0.159 m3]
2. maximum rate is 92000 barrels per day
So, flow rate per second = 92000 / (24 x 3600) = 1.065 m3/s
area of the pipe = (3.14 / 4) x 0.2252 = 0.0397 m 2
so, velocity in the pipe, V = flow rate / pipe area = 1.065 / 0.0397 m = 26.83 m/s
So, the Reynolds number = (V x D) / K = (26.83 x 0.225) / (9.7 x 10-6) = 622345.36
