This document summarizes the calculation of liquid flow parameters in a pipe assuming laminar flow. It provides the key parameters needed for the calculation: the inside diameter and length of the pipe, the density and kinematic viscosity of the liquid (turbine oil), and the head of liquid. It then shows the steps to calculate the Reynolds number, friction factor, flow rate, mean velocity, and other key parameters using equations from the Crane Technical Paper No. 410.
