Explanation:
The five basic postulate of kinetic molecular theory includes:
1) All gases consist of large amount and numbers of tiny particles that are far apart from each other and also relative to their size.
2) The collisions between gas particles and gas particles against container walls is refer to as elastic collision.
3) All gas particles are in a continuous random and rapid motion. They possess kinetic energy which is energy of motion.
4) There are no attractive force between gas particles.
5) The temperature of a gas depends on the average kinetic energy of the gas particle.
When its temperature increases, the reactants have more kinetic energy so the frequency of effective collision increases, resulting in a faster rate of chemical reaction.
Answer:
Flow rate 2.34 m3/s
Diameter 0.754 m
Explanation:
Assuming steady flow, the volume flow rate along the pipe will always be constant, and equals to the product of flow speed and cross-section area.
The area at the well head is

So the volume flow rate along the pipe is

We can use the similar logic to find the cross-section area at the refinery

The radius of the pipe at the refinery is:



So the diameter is twice the radius = 0.38*2 = 0.754m
