Water (density 1000 kg/m³, viscosity 1 mNs/m²) is pumped through a 50 mm diameter pipeline at 4 kg/s and the pressure drop is 1 MN/m². What will be the pressure drop for a solution of glycerol in water (density 1050 kg/m³, viscosity 10 mNs/m²) when pumped at the same rate? Assume the pipe to be smooth. Use friction factor/Moody chart properly. Write all assumptions if any. Answer in Pa.
