Question

A pipeline transporting crude oil (sg = 0.93) at 1200 L/min is made of 6in schedule 80 steel pipe. Pumping stations are spaced 4 km apart. If the oil is at 10 degrees Celsius, determine the pressure drop between stations and the power required to maintain the same pressure at inlet of each pipe. If the oil is heated to raise the temperature from 10 degrees to 100 degrees Celcius at a step of 1 degree, in each case, determine:

A. Reynolds Number

B. Heat loss

C. Pressure Drop

D. Power of pump
