A tube 9ft in length has an inner diameter of 0.495in. A 60% aqueous solution of sucrose is to be pumped through the tube at 20 C at a rate of 900 lbs/h. At this temperature solution density is 80.3 lb/ft^3 and viscosity is 136.8 lb/ft h.

Calculate:

1.) Reynold's Number

2.) Is the flow regime laminar?

3.) If the tube is horizontal, the required pressure drop

4.) If tube is vertical and flow is upwards, the required pressure drop
