Though most of the losses in pipe is due to friction losses but there are minor losses as well which are associated with flow through valves and fittings.
1. Gate valve has very less pressure loss due to no obstruction in the flow path.
2. Swing check valve has less pressure loss than globe value.
3. Disc type gate valve , when it opens the disc removes from the flow that is why there is low resistance to flow.
4.Globe valve has the highest pressure losses in fully opened conditions because fluid changes its direction when it moves through the valve.
So the answer of the question is D that is Globe valve.
Which of the following valves is the highest losses among pipe system for fully opened condition?...
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 10-m-long, 5.042-cm I.D. copper pipe has two fully open gate valves, a swing check valve, and a sudden enlargement to a 9.919-cm I.D. copper pipe. The 9.919 cm copper pipe is 5.0 m long and then has a sudden contraction to another 5.042-cm copper pipe. Find the head loss for a 20 °C water flow rate of 0.05 m3/s.. Answer is 180
Problem 5 A 12-in diameter pipe conveys fluid at 8 ftl/s between two tanks. The friction factor fis 0.02. The pipe entrance and exits are both squared edged. The pipe also contains a fully-open gate valve. Determine what percent of the head loss is due to minor losses for the following three pipe lengths: (a) 4 ft, (b) 80 ft, (c) 1600 ft. Comment on whether minor losses are always "minor". Problem 5 A 12-in diameter pipe conveys fluid at...
Example of Pipe Sizing The figure shows a closed piping system to supply chilled water to two heat exchangers. Size the pipe for this system, assuming schedule-40 steel pipe is used with threaded (screwed) fitting. Determine the pump flow rate and head requirements. Distances are as shown in feet. Head losses through the heat exchangers and chiller are shown as provided by the manufacturers. Q(gpm) Head Loss (ft) 70 Unit Chiller Heat Exchanger (a) 30 Heat Exchanger (b) 40 12...
Fluid Mechanics QUESTION 4 (a) What are the Energy Grade Line (EGL) and Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) in a pipe system? (1 mark) A factory draws its water supply from a mountain lake located 75 m above the factory (a) without pump. The factory is at present been supplied via 300 m of 20 cm diameter cast iron pipe. For control purposes, there are five gate valves and one globe valve in the line, as well as three standard 90...
A 12-in diameter pipe conveys fluid at 8 ft/s between two tanks. The friction factor f is 0.02. The pipe entrance and exits are both squared edged. The pipe also contains a fully-open gate valve. Determine what percent of the head loss is due to minor losses for the following three pipe lengths: (a) 4 ft, (b) 80 ft, (c) 1600 ft. Comment on whether minor losses are always “minor”.
A pump transports water from Tank 1 to Tank 2 through a constant-diameter piping system as shown below (not to scale). The flow rate is controlled by two gate valves, the gate valve I controls the main pipeline, while the gate valve II controls the loop line from T-joint A to T-joint B. All pipes are galvanized steel pipe of diameter D = 4 in. It has a total length of Li2= 620 ft from tank 1 to tank 2....
As shown in the figure we are dealing with a pipe system in which there are 125 ft of 2-in pipe, 75 ft of 6-in pipe, and 150 ft of 3-in pipe, all cast iron. There are two 90° elbows and an open globe valve. If the exit elevation is zero, what horsepower is extracted by the turbine when the flow rate is 0.16 ft3/s of water at 20°C? Elevation 100 sudden expansion from 2" to 3": KL =0.79 2...
The diagram on the next slide shows a fluid power system for a hydraulic press The following is known: The volume flow rate is 35 gpm. The hydraulic fluid has a specific gravity of 0.87 and v-4.30x104 ft/s. The power input to the pump is 20 hp. The pump efficiency is 80 percent. The filter has a resistance coefficient K-1.85 based on the velocity head in the suction line. All piping is 2-in schedule 40 steel. The total length of...
Problem 5: The system in the Figure consists of 1200 m of 5 cm cast-iron pipe, two 45o and four 90 flanged long-radius elbows, a fully open flanged globe valve, and a sharp exit into a reservoir. If the elevation at point 1 is 400 m, what gage pressure is required at point 1 to deliver 0.005 m3/s of water at 20°C into the reservoir?
