Lubricating oil with specific gravity of 0.85 and dynamic viscosity of 1.2kg/m.s is pumped at the rate of

through a pipe of 300m-length and 20cm diameter. Calculate the pressure drop, average shear stress at the wall of the pipe and power required to maintain the flow: (i) if the pipe is horizontal, (ii) the pipe is incline at

with horizontal for upward and downward flow. Also determine the slope of the pipe and direction of flow so that the pressure gradient along the pipe is zero.
