Laminar-Pipe-Flow

A lubricating oil of viscosity 1 poise and specific gravity 0.9 is pumped through 

a 30 mm diameter pipe. If pressure drop per metre length of pipe is `20( kN)/m^2`, determine:

  1. The mass flow rate in kg/min,
  2.  The shear stress at pipe wall,
  3.  The Reynolds number of flow, and 
  4. The power required per 50 m length of pipe to maintain flow.
