Hand Sanitizer (70% propanol gel) needs to be transported on a floor in a hospital from a central location per floor. The room farthest from the source is 17.5-m away. The hand sanitizer enters the tubing at 20°C and 275 kPa absolute and exits the tubing at atmospheric conditions. The tubing can Flowrate/velocity Calculation. Hand sanitizer be considered smooth; however, there are two (2) 90° curved elbows and four (4) Tee Run throughs, and one (1) foot value (Refer to the Loss for Fittings table in Canvas). The density of the hand sanitizer is 955 kg/m3 and the viscosity is 4.5 cP.   What is the flow rate that can be obtained if the tubing diameter is 4.5-mm?
