A Keystone Pipeline has a diameter of 36 inches and a design flow rate of 590,000 barrels per day of crude oil at 40°C. Estimate the pump horsepower required if the length of the pipe is 1.5 mile(s). The pipe material is new steel. For crude oil at 40°C, take μ= 0.0053 kg/m-s÷ 47.88 = 0.0000111 slug/ft-s. The density, with SG = 0.86, is 0.86(1.94) = 1.67 slug/ft³. Take f≈ 0.0155.

What is the horsepower required by the pump?

A Keystone Pipeline has a diameter of 36 inches and a design flow rate of 590,000 barrels per day of crude oil at 40°C. Estimate the
pump horsepower required if the length of the pipe is 1.5 mile(s). The pipe material is new steel. For crude oil at 40°C, take μ= 0.0053
