Question

The Keystone Pipeline has an inside diameter of 36 inches andcarries a flow rate of 590,000 barrels of crude oil per day at 40°C.If the pipe is new, non-corroded steel, estimate the pumphorsepower required per mile of pipe.Use rho=1.67 slug/ft3 andμ=1.11x10-4 slug/ft*sec for the oil. This pipeline is in a coldenvironment, does it make sense that the oil is so warm?

Answer 1

Answer:

The pump horse power required per mile of pipe  $45.22\ hp/mile$

Explanation:

The explanation is shown on the  second third and fourth image

It make sense that the temperature of the oil is high even though the pipeline is in a cold environment this is so because where the oil is been tapped from is  way hotter than the temperature of the pipeline environment  because it is closer to the earths crust than the environment of the pipeline
