Not so simple. You are correct that flow through a pipe can be accurately predicted, adjusting for viscosity, roughness of pipe interior, etc., assuming, however, that the boundary condition is known. Specifically, it is difficult to know the conditions at the exit of the pipe. Is there a strong flow of water along the ocean bottom due to some currents? If so, that will lower the pressure at the exit point and cause more oil to flow out.
There was a pathetic commercial on channel 4 this morning during the today show with the BP CEO apologizing and saying he would fix things and basically on the verge of tears. Sheesh
They are spending millions on these ads. I liked the comment of the head of a local group in LA – forget the freaking PR and TV blubbering and buy them some equipment to scoop tar balls off the shore line. This tearful bs is on top of his protestations that he wants his life back. I am sure that there are plenty of others who want their lives back too.
I don’t get it. No one knows how much oil is flowing. Yet max volume of liquid thru a pipe is a standard chart, I probably have some in my office. OK, chart based on water. So adjust for viscosity of gulf crude. Size of pipe is known. After BP clipped the pipe, free flow.Therefore the max volume of leaking oil is simple. benson what do you think?
ENY,
That’s a great story of you bringing up your son and how proud you are of the man he is today.
fathers in our society have a complex role.
On the one hand we are expected to be there for all the emotional needs (something old style father’s were hardly involved with) while on the other hand we know all too well the painful life lessons ahead for them.
do we push our sons harder knowing that the world is
often not fair or do we try to shelter them from the reality as long as possible?
…somehow, I think *rob* would make a good father,
my only basis for this is his devotion to his dog and
his awareness of other parent’s blatant flaws.

rob ringing in ear can be simple or serious, also symtom of benzo withdrawal. goggle tinnitus
I don’t mean to bring the Beatles into this,
but what I’m posting above is best illustrated
in John Lennon’s song for Sean;
