1. Crude oil flows through an uphill section of the Keystone pipeline at a rate of 2.94 m3 /s (equivalent to 1.6 million barrels of day). The average elevation gain in the section of pipeline is 10 m per kilometer. The pipe diameter is 1.2m. The maximum allowable pressure in the pipe (at the inlet) is 8.27 MPa; the minimum pressure (at the exit) required is 3.45kPa. The crude oil has density 930kg/m3 and a dynamic viscosity of 1.68×10-2 Pa.s. For above condition consider the surface roughness factor is 0.26 mm. Determine the maximum possible distance between pumping station with and without elevation gain. Use Haaland equation for friction factor.

Water flows in a horizontal pipeline at a steady flow rate of 0.03 m3 s-1. The pipeline terminates with a reducing bend that deflects the water upwards at an angle of 45 degrees, as shown in Figure QB2. The water issues into the atmosphere. The area of the pipe is 150 x 10-4 m2 and the area at the exit to the bend is 25 x 10-4 m2. The gauge pressure at the inlet to the bend is 73.9 kN...

A hole was shot in a pipeline using a high-powered rifle. The discharge rate of oil from the pipeline was estimated at 140 gal/min. Estimate the hole diameter (in inches) assuming a pipeline pressure of 500 psig (72,000 lbf/ft2), discharge coefficient is 0.61, and the density of water is 62.4 lbm/ft3. The specific gravity for the oil is 0.93.

Crude oil of density 970 kg.m-3 flows in a pipe of internal diameter 9 inches and circular section that exhibits a 90° bend in the horizontal plane. The flowrate of the oil is 11,000 litres per minute. Calculate the force imparted by the oil on the bend due to the change of momentum of the fluid, and draw a diagram to indicate the direction of this force.
