Oil with a density of 850 kg/m3 and kinematic viscosity of 0.00062 m2/s is being discharged by an 8-mm-diameter, 42-m-long horizontal pipe from a storage tank open to the atmosphere. The height of the liquid level above the center of the pipe is 4 m. Disregarding the minor losses, determine the flow rate of oil through the pipe. Solve this problem by making the assumption that since the velocity through the pipe is so small, the pressure at the pipe entrance is nearly the same as the hydrostatic pressure at that location.

The flow rate of oil through the pipe is 1.513E-7 m³/s.

Explanation:

Given

Density, ρ = 850 kg/m³

Kinematic viscosity, v = 0.00062 m²/s

Diameter, d = 8-mm = 0.008m

Length of horizontal pipe, L = 42-m

Height, h = 4-m.

We'll solve the flow rate of oil through the pipe by using Hagen-Poiseuille equation.

This is given as

∆P = (128μLQ)/πD⁴

Where ∆P = Rate of change of pressure

μ = Dynamic Viscosity

Q = Flow rate of oil through the pipe.

First, we need to determine the dynamic viscosity and the rate of change in pressure

Dynamic Viscosity, μ = Density (ρ) * Kinematic viscosity (v)

μ = 850 kg/m³ * 0.00062 m²/s

μ = 0.527kg/ms

Then, we calculate the rate of change of pressure.

Assuming that the velocity through the pipe is so small;

∆P = Pressure at the bottom of the tank

∆P = Density (ρ) * Acceleration of gravity (g) * Height (h)

Taking g = 9.8m/s²

∆P = 850kg/m³ x 9.8m/s² x 4m

∆P = 33320N/m²

Recall that Hagen-Poiseuille equation.

∆P = (128μLQ)/πD⁴ --- Make Q the subject of formula

Q = (πD⁴P)/(128μL)

By substituton;

Q = (π * 0.008⁴ * 33320)/(128 * 0.527 * 42)

Q = 0.00000015133693643099

Q = 1.513E-7 m³/s.

Hence, the flow rate of oil through the pipe is 1.513E-7 m³/s.
