2.SAE10 oil (S.G = 0.87, µ = 1.02 × 10-1n-2/m-2 ) flows up a 2-inch galvanized ironm²pipe. The oil flows straight up a 5.5 m section of pipe at a

volume flowrate of 33 m³/hr. That section of pipe includes 10 threaded unions, 2 open globe valves and one open gate valve.Perform the following: (25 points total) a. State five assumptions to solve this problem. (5 points) b. Determine the friction factor in the pipe. You must show your complete calculations.(5 points) c. Write and simplify (based on the assumptions) the basic equation necessary to obtain the pressure drop in the 5.5 m pipe section considering major and minor losses. (5 points) d. Calculate the pressure drop in the 5.5 m pipe section in kPa. (10 points)
