Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics

Direction: An upward flow of oil (mass density 800 kg/m³, dynamic viscosity 0.8 kg/m–s) takes place under laminar conditions in an inclined pipe of 0.1 m diameter as shown in the figure. The pressures at section 1 and 2 are measured p1 = 435 kN/m² and p² = 200 kN/m².

  1. The discharge in the pipe is equal to
    1. 0.100 m³/s
    2. 0.127 m³/s
    3. 0.144 m³/s
    4. 0.161 m³/s
Correct Option: B
