P.4.8
Oil of viscosity 10 mN s/m? and density 950 kg/m' is pumped 8 km from an oil
refinery to a distribution depot through a 75 mm diameter pipeline and is then
dispatched to customers at a rate of 500 ton/day. Allowance must be made for periods of
maintenance, which may interrupt the supply from the refinery for up to 72 hours. If the
maximum permissible pressure drop over the pipeline is 3450 kN/m2, what is the
shortest time in which the storage tanks can be completely recharged after a 72 hour
shutdown? The roughness of the pipe surface is 0.05 mm.
Ans. 27.6 days
