Question:

A heavy oil $(\mu=100 \mathrm{cP}, \mathrm{SG}=0.85)$ is draining from a large tank through a $1 / 8 \mathrm{in}$. sch 40 tube into an open bucket. The level in the tank is $3 \mathrm{ft}$ above the tube inlet, and the pressure in the tank is $10 \mathrm{psig}$. The tube is $30 \mathrm{ft}$ long, and it is inclined downward at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the horizontal. What is the flow rate of the oil in gpm? What is the value of the Reynolds number in this problem?
