The required water flow rate in the 6 cm diameter 30-meter long circular pipe in the diagram below is 12 liters per second. The water temperature is 4 °C and the flow discharges into the atmosphere at a pressure of PB = 100 kPa. The flow is fully developed turbulent flow and there is no elevation change. The surface of the wall has become degraded due to pitting and deposits such that there is a surface roughness with a height of 0.5 mm. Find the following:
a) The Reynolds number and the Darcy friction factor, ?.
b) The pressure at the pump exit location, PA, required to achieve the specified flow rate.
c) Calculate the pumping power required to produce the pressure PA at the specified flow rate. The pressure at the pump inlet is 105 kPa and the velocity at the pump inlet can be taken to be negligible (Vinlet=0).
Please refer the following images for the solution.

A farmer is to pump water at 70'F from a river to a water storage tank nearby using a 125-ft-long, 5-in-diameter plastic pipe with three flanged 90 smooth bends. The water velocity near the river surface is 6 ft/s, and the pipe inlet is placed in the river normal to the flow direction of water to take advantage of the dynamic pressure. The elevation difference between the river and the free surface of the tank is 12 ft. For a...
Open with Google Docs ▼ Question 3 Calculate the flow rate of water in a pipe of 30 cm diameter placed in an inclined position where a venturi meter is inserted, having a throat diameter of 15 cm. The difference of pressure between the main and throat is measured by a liquid of s.g. 0.6 in an inverted U-tube which gives a reading of 30 cm. The loss of head between the main and throat is 0.2 times the kinetic...

A 600mm diameter horizontal pipe of length 2km branches into two pipes of 300mm and 450mm diameter, each 1.6km long (Fig. Q5). The 600mm pipe is at an elevation of 30m and connects reservoir A with water level 50m. The two branched pipes connects reservoir B with water level 100m. A pump is installed in the 600mm pipe and causes the flow from A to B. Calculate the required power of the pump to maintain a flow rate of Im®/s...
