Heavy fuel oil flows from A to B through 3000 ft of horizontal 6-in steel pipe. The pressure at A is 155 psi and at B is 5.0 psi. The kinematic viscosity is 0.00444 ft2/s and the specific gravity is 0.918. (a) What is the head loss (ft) between A and B? (b) Assuming laminar flow, what is the velocity (ft/s) of oil from A to B? (c) What is the flow rate (ft3/s) assuming laminar flow? (d) Is the flow really laminar? Prove by solving the Reynolds Number.
