Exercise
• Oil (s=0.9) with viscosity 1.6 x 10-4 lb.sec/ft2 flows in a 4 in diameter welded steel pipe at 0.25 cfs. What is the friction head loss per foot of pipe.

So flow is Turbulent
• So will use moody diagram to solve the exercise.
• Absolute roughness = e = 0.00015 ft
• D = 0.3333 ft
• e/D = 0.00015/0.3333 = 0.00045
• R = 10429
• From moody diagram we have
• f = 0.0355
