Calculate the power required to pump 50 metric tonnes of oil per hour along a pipeline 100mm diameter and 1.6 km long if the oil has a density of 915 kg/m^3
and has a kinematic viscosity of 0.00186 m^2/s

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'

Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
