An oil with a density of 870 kg/m3 and kinematic viscosity of 10.7 mm2 /s flows at a rate of 0.1 m3 /s through a galvanised iron pipe 100 mm diameter. The oil flows over a distance of 1000 m and the pipe has a slope in 1 in 500. Determine the (i) loss of head using two different approaches/equations and comment on any differences/assumptions. (ii) pressure drop as the oil flows over the full distance of 1000 m.
