Oil at 20°C (ρ = 888kg/m3 and μ = 0.800 kg/m.s) is flowing steadily through a 5-cm-diameter 40-m-long pipe. The pressure at the pipe inlet and outlet are measured to be 745 and 97 kPa, respectively. Determine the flow rate of oil through the pipe assuming the pipe is (a) horizontal, (b) inclined 15° upward, (c) inclined 15° downward. Also verify that the flow through the pipe is laminar.
