a) Mud is flowing through 4 ½ inch OD/ 3.64 inch ID, internal flush drill pipe. The
circulating flow rate is 400gpm and the mud properties as follows :
Mud weight = 10 ppg
Yield point = 10 Ib/100 ft²
Plastic viscosity 30 cp
1. Calculate the pressure losses per 10,000 ft of drill pipe.
2. Calculate the pressure losses per 10,000 ft of drill pipe if use a water as a working
fluids.
3. During the calculation case 2 at what velocity flow become turbulent?
