The flowrate between tank A and tank B shown in Figure Q2 is to be increased by adding a second pipe (indicated by the dotted lines) running from node C to tank B. Elevation of the free surface in ta...
Question D.1 A2 Not sure Water flows between two tanks connected by a 100 m long pipe as shown in figure D1-1 below The tanks have a free surface height difference of 15 m and are both open to atmosphere. The first 30 m of pipe from the upper tank (section 1) has an internal diameter of 50 mm and a friction factor of 0.006, whilist the remaining 70m of pipe (section 2) has an internal diameter mm and a...
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...
6. Consider the installation for the water supply, shown in the figure where friction for the short run of pipe between the supply tank and pump can be ignored, and in which nodes 1 and 2 are essentially at the same elevation. The equation for the pressure increase (kPa) across the centrifugal pump is: Ap p2-P1 =6.895-0.002021Q2 where the unit of Q4 is liter/s. Compute the flow rates Q Qp and Qc in liter/s, and the pressures(gauge) p, P2, P,...
Q3 (40 pts): Water is pumped through a 60-m-long, 0.3-m-diameter pipe from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir, which has a water surface 10 m above the lower one. When the pump adds 40 kW to the water the flowrate is 0.20 m/s. Assume the following coefficients of minor losses: • Entrance: Kentrance = 0.5 Exit: Kexit = 1 Each elbow: Kelbow = 1.5 • Valve: K= 6 Part A (20 pts) Determine the pipe roughness ε. Part B...
Question 5 a) As shown in Figure Q5 (a), crude oil at 60°C with ρ-860 kg/m3 and μ-3.91 x 10" kg s/m (about four times of viscosity of water) is pumped across from City A to City B pipeline, a 1286 m long, 1.22 m diameter steel pipe ( 0.0125), at a maximum rate of Q- 3.31 m'ls. Investigate the horsepower (unit in hp) needed for the pumps that drive this large system. (Neglect minor losses in the system) Oil:...
you can skip task 1 (3) because its a code in matlab. Task 1: You were asked to check up the status of the water system. Water at 24 °C is to be pumped from a Lower reservoir with 100 m elevation to another reservoir at a higher elevation 112 m through 150-m-long pipe as shown in Figure (1). The pipe is made of steel, and the diameter ofthe pipe is equal to 30 cm water is to be pumped...
