This problem involves a Blending Plant. The PI, base oil mix, and VII are blended together in a hot tank and then the finished product goes to the bottling machine.
The velocity (flow rate) of the oil at the bottling station is 2.38 meters/s through a circular Pipe of 26 mm Diameter.
How long (in time - seconds) does it take to fill a Quart bottle?
(1 Quart = 0.946 L) and 1 L = 1X10-3 m^3).
I.e, 1 Liter equals 10 to the minus 3 cubic meters.
Hint 1: First find the Volume flow rate (or sometimes called, The "Volumetric Flow Rate") in Liters/second, then determine how long it takes to fill the bottle.
Hint 2: for the simple equations you will need see:

This question is open to all, but let's please allow non-engineers, non-Tribologists and non-chemists time to research the question and to respond before answering.
