 Single phase crude flows in a 3.5 in ID vertical tubing.

Single phase crude flows in a 3.5 in ID vertical tubing. At a certain point, Gamma Ray densitometer and mass flow meter are installed to measure the density and mass flow rate of the crude respectively. The crude density, expressed in API gravity, was measured to be 32 API, and the mass flow rate was found 40 kg/min. The water density is 1000 kg/m. Calculate the crude oil volumetric flow rate in bbl/d
