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

Part A Head loss A gate valve is being used as a shut-off valve in a pipe system. When the valve is fully open, the flow through the 9-cm diameter pipe is 40 L/min. What is the head loss at the gate valve? One iter is 0.001 cubic meters. Express your answer in m to three significant figures. View Available Hint(s) vec Submit Request Answer
Two water reservoirs A and B are connected to each other through a 35m-long, 2-cm-diameter cast iron pipe with a sharp-edged entrance. The pipe also involves a swing check valve and a fully open gate valve. The water level in both reservoirs is the same, but reservoir A is pressurized by compressed air while reservoir B is open to the atmosphere at 94 kPa. If the initial flow rate through the pipe is 1.2 L/s, determine the air pressure (gage)...
A 2.1 cm diameter, 19 meters long pipe has 3 90° regular, threaded elbows, 2 45° long- radius, flanged elbows, 10 unions, 1 ball valve(s), fully open and 1 gate valve(s) half open. Water flows in the pipe at a rate of 1.7 m3/hr. Calculate the total minor loss coefficient, KL for the pipe. Keep two decimal places in your answer
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...
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? Elevation 500 m Sharp exit 45° Open globe 45 Problem 5: The system in the...

QUESTION3 The Figure below (Figure 3) shows a pipe system with a valve and two reservoirs. A pump transports a constant flow rate of Q = 0.1 m3/s of water from reservoir A to reservoir B. At four sections the pipe has bends and the roughness of the pipe is ks = 1.5 mm. The pipe has a diameter D = 34 cm and a total length L = 500 m. The water level in reservoir B is Δh=4.67 m above...
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”.

Water (density 998 kg/mº, dynamic viscosity 0.001 Pa s) is pumped between two reservoirs at a volumetric flow rate of 0.006 m/s through a 120-m long pipe of 5 cm diameter. The roughness ratio of the pipe is a/d = 0.001. There are some fittings and valves in the pipe system, as shown in Figure Q1. The loss coefficients of the valves and fittings can be found in Table Q1. The Darcy friction factor can be found in the Moody...
