The present pumping rate of North Slope crude oil through the Alaska Pipeline is about 600,000 barrels per day (1 barrel = 0.159 m3), pipe diameter is 48 inches. What would be the maximum rate if the flow were constrained to be transitional? Assume that Alaskan crude oil fits Fig. A.1 of the Appendix at 60°C. From Fig. A.1 for crude at 60°C, p = 0.86(1000) = 860 kg/m3 and u = 0.0040 kg/m-s. Take note that the maximum Turbulent Reynolds number is about 4000. Select one: O a. 6890 barrels b. 6897 barrels O c. 9680 barrels O d. 9687 barrels

Question
The present pumping rate of North Slope crude oil through the Alaska Pipeline is about 600,000 barrels per day (1 barrel = 0.159 m3), pipe diameter is 48 inches. What
would be the maximum rate if the flow were constrained to be transitional? Assume that Alaskan crude oil fits Fig. A.1 of the Appendix at 60°C. From Fig. A.1 for crude
at 60°C, p= 0.86(1000) = 860 kg/m3 and u = 0.0040 kg/m-s. Take note that the maximum Turbulent Reynolds number is about 4000.
Select one:
O a. 6890 barrels
O b. 6897 barrels
O c. 9680 barrels
O d. 9687 barrels
