Question

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 no pressure losses in the fittings (elbows, tees, etc.) and that the only pressure losses are given by the following equation D 2 where f= 0.02, L is the length of pipe, D is the pipe diameter, Vis the water velocity, and ρ is the water density. What is the water flow rate in gallons per minute from each faucet A, B, and C? 5 ft 25 ft 25 ft 25 ft

    4. The discharge pressure gauge reading is 5 lb/in2 (psi) for the pumping system shown in the sketch below, with the outlet nozzle discharging a 2-inch diameter stream of water directly to the atmosphere. The gauge pressure at the pump suction inlet at the point of incipient cavitation is (-2,071.12) lb/ft, i.e., for vapor pressure of water at 68° F of 50.54 lb/ft2 absolute, and standard atmospheric pressure 30 in Hg. Friction losses in the suction piping from the reservoir...
