Oil is transported in a horizontal circular pipe with diameter 10 cm and volume flow rate of 0.003 m³/s. The oil density is p = 917 kg/m³ and its dynamic viscosity is μ = 0.1 Ns/ m². Determine the Reynolds number and flow status (laminar or turbulent) in the pipe, and further calculate the head loss and pressure drop over 1000 m of this horizontal pipe. The flow is assumed to be fully developed laminar flow throughout the pipe.

Oil is transported in a horizontal circular pipe with diameter 10 cm and
volume flow rate of 0.003 m³/s. The oil density is p = 917 kg/ m³ and its
dynamic viscosity is μ = 0.1 Ns/ m². Determine the Reynolds number and
flow status (laminar or turbulent) in the pipe, and further calculate the
head loss and pressure drop over 1000 m of this horizontal pipe. The flow
is assumed to be fully developed laminar flow throughout the pipe.
