Soybean oil is being pumped through a uniform-diameter pipe at steady mass flowrate. A pump supplies 209.2 J/kg of fluid flowing. The exit section of the pipe downstream from the pump is 3.35m above the entrance and the exit pressure is 172.4 kN/m^2 A.) Exit and entrance pipes are the same diameter. The fluid is in turbulent flow. The friction loss in the system is 101.3 J/kg. Soybean density= 919kg/m^3 Soybean viscosity = 40 Pa-s a.) What is the absolute pressure at the entrance of the pipe at atm? b.)What is the minimum flow rate of the soybean oil for the flow to be turbulent for a pipe diameter of 12 inches?

Soybean oil is being pumped through a uniform-diameter pipe at steady mass flowrate. A pump supplies 209.2 J/kg of fluid flowing. The exit section of the pipe downstream from the pump is 3.35m above the entrance and the exit pressure is 172.4 kN/m^2 A.) Exit and entrance pipes are the same diameter. The fluid is in turbulent flow. The friction loss in the system is 101.3 J/kg. Soybean density= 919kg/m^3 Soybean viscosity = 40 Pa-s

a.) What is the absolute pressure at the entrance of the pipe at atm?

b.)What is the minimum flow rate of the soybean oil for the flow to be turbulent for a pipe diameter of 12 inches?
