A pipe transporting a fluid has an internal diameter of 5.0 m.The fluid has a flow rate of 5.00 × 10−2 m3 /s and a viscosity of1.00 × 10−3 N/m2 ∙s. The fluid has a density of 695 kg/m3 and apressure of 1.62 × 104 Pa. Consider the fluid to be ideal. a)Calculate the speed of the fluid in the pipe. b) What isthe maximum diameter that the pipe must have if the flow is to belaminar? c) The pipeline rises 10 m into a secondary pipeof internal diameter 2.4 m. What is the new pressure of the fluidin the secondary pipe? d) Under what flow conditionswould you expect to have as little energy losses as possible whentransporting the fluid? Clearly justify your response.
