Chapter 6, Problem 6.2P
The present pumping rate of crude oil through the Alaska Pipeline, with an ID of 48 in, is 550,000 barrels per day (1 barrel = 42 U.S. gallons). (a) Is this a turbulent flow? (b) What would be the maximum rate if the flow were constrained to be laminar? Assume that Alaskan oil fits Fig. A.1 of the Appendix at 60°C.
