Outer dia=25mm,Inner Dia=24mm,Length=84,Normal innlet pressure=6 bar,Normal inlet temp=150°C,Max innlet pressure=11.5 bar,Max innlet temp=230°C ,Mass flow rate=4 kg/min,
what is the Outlet pressure&Temp?.Which formula I have to Use.Pls Help me

Are you given any equations, the viscosity, or the piping material?

To solve this I would assume a roughness factor for the piping (e=0.00015 ft is good) and calculate the reynolds number, then the fraction factor, then head loss, and then finally a pressure drop.

Unless the problem specifically tells you to assume ideal conditions and zero friction, you have to assume it is turbulent flow and use a the friction factor - otherwise the scenario is bogus!

Please let me know if you have any more info and we will solve this.
