Only the density of crude oil and its viscosity at different temperatures, along with pipeline parameters – how is friction loss calculated?

Theoretically, it is possible to do the calculations with these data. The question now is, how to define these few simple parameters in logistics?
The viscosity mentioned here should refer to dynamic viscosity; the product of this value and density gives the kinematic viscosity, which represents the force required to achieve a certain flow velocity per unit area of fluid over a unit distance. I’m not quite sure about the rest.
If it’s just about calculating viscosity, you can use any liquid substance; simply change the density and viscosity in Pure to those of crude oil, and add the PIPE model to carry out the calculation
