Heavy fuel oil flows at Q = 10 gallons per minute (gpm) in a horizontal steel pipe that connects two storage tanks. The diameter of the pipe is D = 1.5 inches. The length of the pipe is L = 100 feet. The depth of oil in the supply tank is 30 feet above the pipe entrance. The temperature of the oil is 60°F, the specific gravity of the oil is s.g.oil = 0.90, the specific weight of the oil is 56.13 lb/ft', and the kinematic viscosity of the oil is 0.00175 ft/s. The pipe discharges into the bottom of the receiving tank. Neglect minor losses. a) Determine the pressure p at the pipe entrance in pounds per square foot (psf). b) Determine the velocity v in feet per second (fps). c) Determine the Reynolds number Re.
