The first of the series connected pipes is 3 m long and the second is 84 m long. The total pressure loss of crude oil flowing in the pipe system with a volumetric flow rate of 60 L/minute is 20 m. The diameter of the first 3 m long pipe is 7.5 cm. What should be the diameter of the second 84 meter long pipe to ensure the pressure loss value at the given flow rate? (The viscosity of the oil can be taken as 0.0261 kg/m.s and its density as 900 kg/m3.)
