A thick slurry with SG = 1.3 is to be pumped through a 1 in. ID pipe that is 200 ft long. You don’t know the properties of the slurry, so you test it in the lab by pumping it through a 4 mm ID tube that is 1 m long. At a flow rate of 0.5 cm3 /s, the pressure drop in this tube is 1 psi, and at a flow rate of 5 cm3 /s it is 1.5 psi. Estimate the pressure drop that would be required to pump the slurry through the 1 in. pipe at a rate of 2 gpm and also at 30 gpm. Clearly explain the procedure you use, and state any assumptions that you make. Comment in detail about the possible accuracy of your predictions. Slurry SG = 1.3.
