Albao Assignment 3

The document provides information and calculations to determine the pressure drop in 50 feet of horizontal tube with given properties. It first provides the kinematic viscosity, density, tube diameter, and flow rate of the oil flowing through the tube. It then shows the calculations to determine the Reynolds number and pressure drop using the Hagen-Poiseuille equation for laminar flow in pipes. The final pressure drop is calculated to be 32 psi.
