Given: 
Oil gravity = 40°API, 0.875 S.G.
Oil flow rate = 2,000 bpd
Inlet oil temperature = 90°F
Water S.G. = 1.04
Inlet BS&#38;W = 10%
Outlet BS&#38;W =1%
Solution:

		<description><![CDATA[The factor of proportionality in the previous equations is called the  Moody friction factor and is determined from the Moody resistance diagram shown in Figure 8-1. The friction factor is sometimes expressed in terms of the Fanning friction factor, which is one-fourth of the Moody friction factor. In some references the Moody friction factor is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This equation, which is also sometimes called the Weisbach equation or the Darcy-Weisbach equation, states that the friction head loss between two points in a completely filled, circular cross section pipe is
proportional to the velocity head and the length of pipe and inversely proportional to the pipe diameter. This can be written:

		<description><![CDATA[Flow regimes describe the nature of fluid flow. There are two basic flow regimes for flow of a single-phase fluid: laminar flow and turbulent flow. Laminar flow is characterized by little mixing of the flowing fluid and a parabolic velocity profile. Turbulent flow involves complete mixing of the fluid and a more uniform velocity profile.

		<description><![CDATA[The Reynolds number is a dimensionless parameter that relates the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. It can be expressed by the following general equation:


The Reynolds number can be expressed in more convenient terms. For liquids, the equation becomes:

The first step in being able to make these changes is to [...]]]></description>

In its simplest form, a vent or flare tip is a pipe. Sometimes the pipe diameter is reduced for the last 5 ft or so to increase exit [...]]]></description>
