The principle of the rifled gun has
been applied TO pipes for pumping oil
in California, where the crude oil is
mostly thick, viscous, and difficult to
pump through long lines. The pipe is
rified on the inside, so that the oil
mixed with about 10 per cent of water,
is caused to whirl rapidly. The wa
ter, being heavier than the oil, seeks
the outside, and forms thin film
which ubricates the pipe for the pass
age of the oil. The friction is thus
so far reduced that the oil has been
easily pumped through a line 81 miles
long. The water and oil come out
separately at the end of the line.
