Question

Problem 2. (3 pts) Benzene, which is an incompressible Newtonian fluid, flows steadily and continuously at 100 °F through a 3,000 ft horizontal, 4" schedule 40 pipe. The pressure drop across

the pipe under these conditions is 2 psi. You may assume fully developed, laminar flow. Use the shell balance approach to find the volumetric flow rate through the pipe in gallons per minute (gpm).
