3 Consider a horizontal 4-ft-diameter galvanized-iron pipe simulating the Alaska Pipeline. The oil flow is 70 million U.S. gallons per day, at a density of 910 kg/m and viscosity of 0.01 kg/m-s. Each pump along the line raises the oil pressure to 8 MPa, which then drops, due to head loss, to 400 kPa at the entrance to the next pump. Estimate (a) the appropriate distance between pumping stations; and (b) the power required if the pumps are 88% efficient.
