Use Poiseuille's Law to select the diameter of a 10-m long plastic pipe that is to transport room temperature water at a volume flow rate of 8 L/minute under the constraint that the head loss can be no more than 25 cm. Then comment on whether this calculation is appropriate and, if not, calculate what the head loss would be in reality for this diameter pipe.

At a speed of 0.2 m/s, light oil with a density of 880kg/m and a viscosity of 2.1cP is pumped from a huge oil tanker to a power plant's storage tank.
