1. For an 18-inch pipeline designed for 150‚000 barrels per day‚ what is the short-run cost per barrel (per thousand miles) of transporting crude oil if the throughput is (a) 50‚000 barrels per day (b) 100‚000 barrels per day (c) 150‚000 barrels per day? Using chart 7‚ a) Cost of transporting 50‚000 barrels would be 30 cents. b) Cost of transporting 100‚000 barrels would be 17 cents. c) Cost of transporting 150‚000 barrels would 16 cents. 2.

Common specializations of this style include pipelines‚ which restrict the topologies to linear sequences of filters; bounded pipes‚ which restrict the amount of data that can reside on a pipe; and typed pipes‚ which require that the data passed between two filters have a well-defined type.
