A 3 cm inside diameter pipe is being used to pump beer into a cylindrical storage tank. The
tank is 1.5 m diameter and 3 m high. The density of the beer is 1040kgm3 and viscosity is
160010-6Pa*s.
a) What is the minimum time to fill the tank up to 2 m with beer if it is flowing under laminar
conditions in the pipe?
b) What will be the maximum time to fill the tank up to 2 m if the flow in the pipe is turbulent?
