A 2.55 inch diameter pipe is required to carry 46.1 gpm. What flow velocity is required, in ft/s?
Consider water flowing to three faucets in a building through the very simple plumbing network shown below. Every section of pipe in the figure is 25 ft long. Ali of the piping is nominal half-inch type L copper piping. The inlet pressure to the main pipe is constant at 50 psi and the pressure of the water leaving each faucet is 0 psi. The water has a temperature of 140°F. For the purposes of this analysis assume that there are...
problem # 5 that corresponds to a Reynolds number of 20007 onml sieutn e0 pipe, what is the tlow rate Air at standard conditions flows through a 2 standard type M copper tube. What is the maximum velocity allowable for laminar flow conditions to exist? (At standard conditions, air can be treated as incompressible.) 4. One hundred cubic feet per minute of air flows through an 2 standard type M copper tube. Is the flow laminar or turbulent? 5. Pressure...
Problem The relation between pressure drop and flow rate of laminar flows in a pipe is given by l bar 50 m 20° 128u dz PS Flow rate Q is the product of the average velocity and the cross-sectional area of the pipe What is the pressure needed to drive a viscous oil flow upslope through a 12 cm diameter pipe? The length of the pipe is 50 meters. The slope is 20°. At the end of the pipe, the...
Hydrodynamic losses in pipe flow are characterized by measuring the pressure drop over a length of pipe L. If you anticipate using flow rates of 1.0 gals/min through 3/8" i.d. smooth-wall tubing, and want a pressure drop of 12 kPa, what length, L, of tubing should you use? Express your answer in meters. Note: You will note that this problem statement uses mixed units, which unfortunately are a fact of life in engineering calculations. You should know how to do...
A system using 10-inch (10") internal diameter pipe requires a selection of flanged valves. Consider 10" ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, and check valves in the fully-open position; and butterfly valves in a variety of open positions. FNW has been chosen as the equipment supplier; the relevant data sheets can be found on Desire2Learn (see below for information on valve part numbers and cor- responding files). The data sheets give valve coefficients (C,): flow rates in GPM corresponding to...
A 38-in pump is installed for the system below. The pipe (100-cm diameter) has a friction factor of 0.012 and a total length of 20 km. Given that Ke-0.5 (pipe entrance) and K = 1.0 (pipe exit). For water at 80 degrees Fahrenheit, estimate the flow rate (in gpm), the power required (in horsepower, HP), and the net positive suction head required (in ft) to avoid cavitation for the system when the pump running. 180 m Elevation V Elevation =...
