At the inlet of a 1000 ft long, 6 in pipe, the total head is 80 ft above a reference datum. The pipe carries a flow of 0.6 cfs. The pressure at the outlet is 18 psi and the elevation at the outlet is 12 ft above the datum. Determine the loss of energy (ft2 /s2 ) and head (ft) through the pipe.
Fluid in a 4-inch diameter 1500-ft long pipe has a height above the datum of 31.5 ft and a velocity of 8.5 ft/sec at the inlet. It loses 20 ft of head across the length of the pipe, and the total energy at the outlet is 28 ft of head. Find the pressure in psi at the inlet.
A 650-ft-long horizontal commercial steel pipe having a diameter of 6 in. is used to transport water at T = 70∘F. Use the Moody diagram. Part A Determine the power output of a pump if the discharge through the pipe is to be 120 ft3/min and the pressure at the pump inlet is 5 psi. The pipe is open to the atmosphere at its outlet. Express your answer using three significant figures.
4. An old, rough-surfaced, 2-m-diameter concrete pipe with a Manning coefficient of 0.025 carries water at a rate of 5.0 m'/s when it is half ful. This pipe is to be replaced by a new smooth pipe with a Manning coefficient of 0.012. Determine the diameter of the new pipe if it also is to flow half full with a flow rate of 5.0 m'/s Water initially flowing in the horizontal section of pipe of diameter 12.00 cm shown in...
7.14 The pump in Fig. 7.20 delivers water from the lower to the upper reservoir at the rate of 0.057 m3/s. The energy loss between the suction pipe inlet and the pump is 1.83 m and that between the pump outlet and the upper reservoir is 3.66 m. Both pipes are 6-in Schedule 40 steel pipe. Calculate (a) the pressure at the pump inlet, (b) the pressure at the pump outlet, (c) the total head on the pump, and (d)...
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...

• The diameter of a pipe carrying water changes gradually from 6 in. at A to 18 in. at B. A is 15 ft. lower than B. What will be the difference in pressure, in psi, between A and B, when 6.2 cfs is flowing, loss of energy being neglected.
Please provide a clear solution for the above example. The correct answer is provided. Blood Flow in an Artery (20%) Blood (assume μ-4.5 × 10-5 lbs ft-2, SG-1.0) flows through an artery in the neck of a giraffe from its heart to its head at a rate of 2.5 × 10-4 ft3 s-1 as illustrated in Figure 2. Assume the length of the artery is 10 feet with a constant diameter of 0.20 inches. If the pressure at the beginning...
Problem 3 A pipeline delivers water from Reservoir 1 to Reservoir 2 as shown in the following figure. The water levels at Reservoirs 1 and 2 are 50 ft and 20 ft, respectively. A globe valve is installed in the pipeline with a minor head loss coefficient k 10. The pipe from Reservoir 1 to the globe valve is 1000 ft long and 6 inches in diameter. The pipe from the globe valve to Reservoir 2 is also 1000 ft...
Problem 1. Water flows from a large tank through a smooth pipe of length 80 m. Both the tank free surface and jet exit are exposed to the atmosphere. Take the density of water p = 1000 kg/m3, dynamic viscosity of water u = 0.001 kg/m.s, atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa, and gravity = 9.8 m/s2. Calculate the volumetric flow rate through the pipe. Neglect entrance losses to the pipe. Hint: Consider the inlet and outlet sections of the pipe...
