Question

Oil flows through a circular pipe at a rate of 0.4m^3/s.

Density p= 960kg/m3

Length of Pipe = 120m

Head loss along the length = 7m

Roughness of the pipe, ks = 0.07mm

Kinematic viscosity v= 2 x 10^(-5) m2/s

Find the diameter of the pipe to 3dp.

(The final solution should be 0.34m, but i am confused with the method so if you could put a few notes next to calculations that would be very helpful). Ive attached a copy of the moody diagram aswell as it is relevant.
