Flowrate of oil in an inclined returnpipe
Flowrate of oil in an inclined returnpipe
(OP)
Hey,
I try to estimate the possible flowrate of oil in a return pipe (pressureless) taking into account the viscosity, type of pipe,filling of the pipe. For water I use formula of Bazin. For oil I have no idea how to calculate.
can you help me with this?
Thanks

RE: Flowrate of oil in an inclined returnpipe
I don't use any of the Bazin formulas so I can't suggest how to adjust it for oil's properties.
If you don't have the Crane booklet you can order it off the Internet and it's got some excellent worked examples in it.
