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.

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....
