A large pipeline with a 1.200-m inside diameter carries oil similar to SAE 10 at 40°C (sg = 0.8). Compute the volume flow rate required to produce a Reynolds number of 3.60 × 104. Then, if the pipe is clean steel, compute several points of the velocity profile and plot the data in a manner similar to that shown in Fig. 8.7.
