Question: 8 . Liquid chlorine is supplied to a process from a regulated pressure source at 2 0 barg through 3 0 0 m of horizontal

8. Liquid chlorine is supplied to a process from a regulated pressure source at 20 barg through 300 m of horizontal new commercial steel pipe of actual inside diameter of 0.02 m.
The ambient pressure is 1 atm and the ambient temperature is 30oC.
a. If the pipe breaks off at the regulated source, estimate the flow rate through the leak, in kg/s.
b. If the pipe breaks off at the end of the 300-m length, estimate the flow in kg/s.
For chlorine, the following properties are available at these conditions:
Density: 1380 kg/m3
Viscosity: 0.328\times 103 Pa-s
