For the pipeline described in Problem 8.39, consider that the oil is to be heated to 100°C to decrease its viscosity.
a. How does this affect the pump power requirement?
b. At what distance apart could the pumps be placed with the same pressure drop as that from Problem 8.39?
Problem 8.39
A pipeline transporting crude oil (sg = 0.93) at 1200 L/ min is made of DN 150 Schedule 80 steel pipe. Pumping stations are spaced 3.2 km apart. If the oil is at 10°C, calculate (a) the pressure drop between stations and (b) the power required to maintain the same pressure at the inlet of each pump.
