Oil should be transported through a 2 (km) long pipe. The tube is made of stainless steel and has a
roughness of 50(μm) and an inner diameter of 250 (mm). The volume flow is 50 (liters/s), the
kinematic viscosity of the oil is 5.9 * 10-5 (m²/s) and the density is p = 856 (kg/m³).
a) is the current laminar or turbulent. Reason for the answer
b) Calculate how much lifting height (m) is lost due to friction.
c) If the downstream pressure gauge shows 100 (kPa), what is the upstream pressure (kPa)?
d) You will install a pump upstream with an efficiency of 80%. How big does the pump need to be in
(kW)?
