Liquid ethylene oxide at 0 oC is evacuated through a circular pipe with a diameter of 2.5 cm

and an average velocity of 10 m/s to the open air at a the pressure of 105 kPa. The measured

pressure (absolute) before the exit using a pressure gage is 192 kPa . Calculate the volumetric

flow rate of ethylene oxide if (a) the pipe is horizontal, (b) the pipe is bended 10° up, and (c)

15° down from the horizontal ( EO = 882 kg/m3 and EO= 6.35x102 kg/m*s)

Assumptions: The flow is steady and incompressible. 2. The flow section considered is away

from the entrance, and thus the flow is fully developed. 3. The roughness effects and reducing

energy components are negligible, and thus the inner surfaces are considered to be smooth. 4.

No turbine or pump in the system.
