Question
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 at 60°C.
