Question

Methane gas is being pumped through a 305-m length of 52.5-mm-ID steel pipe at the rate of 41.0 kg/(m2 · s). The inlet pressure is p1 = 345 kPa abs. Assume isothermal flow at 288.8 K. p2 = 298.4 kPa. What is the velocity (V2) at the end of the pipe? The viscosity is 1.04 × 10?5 Pa · s. (Answer V2= 20.62 m/s, show all work)
