(ii) A new oil refining plant has been built in Chongwe, in Lusaka. This plant gets its crude Oil from Beira port in Mozambique through a oil pipeline which is 14,000 meters long. To maintain a certain pressure within the pipeline, a minimum pressure drop could be allowed. Therefore, the pipeline has the following characterstics; a radius of 20mm and t is made of the commercia! Steel. The pipe has two Globe valves fully opened, one Plug Valve open and three 45° standard elbows. The crude Oil being carried is flowing at 4000 Kg/h and has the following properties; density 1200 Kg /m and viscosity of 0.99x 10 N/m?.s. Calculate the minimum [10 marks] pressure drop in this process? (ii) A new oil refining plant has been built in Chongwe, in Lusaka.
