Yes, I have a STUPID question to ask. There might be some future engineers or architects reading my blog right? I need some help for theoretical question on fluid piping system.
Question: Which fluid at room temperature requires a larger pump to flow at a specified velocity at given pipe. Water or engine oil? Why?
Okay. The question goes like this, at the room temperature of a constant velocity and type of pipe material, water or engine oil needs a larger pump to flow? With the relation of flow rate Q, area of pipe A and velocity v, we can get
Q=Av
The difference between water and engine oil will be their density. So what is relation between density and flow rate? How to relate density into the equation of flow rate?
Goshhh, its been squeezing my head to think of this for hours!! Any volunteer to lend me a head or share ideas? =( Your help is highly appreciated by me.
