A 120 cm diameter pipeline conveys oil (s=0.80) under a head of 150 m from the mainland to a nearby island, crossing a river (s=1.03) to a maximum depth of 6 m. If the pipe thickness is 8 mm, determine the stress in the pipewall in kPa. a.87,354.00 b.67,568.65 c.83,742,50 d.78,567.68
(c) Figure 2a below shows the outline of a structure on which pressures are measured and the consequent pressure gradients calculated. The pressure gradients shown are positive zero and negative. Using sketches show the velocity profile that you would expect in each region and explain the balance of stresses that are present in each. This should include any progressive changes that you would expect within each region.
