E Question-4 1.2 m 04=0 D Pipe 40-mm inside diameter 1.8 m Figure shows a siphon that is used to draw water from a swimming pool. The pipe that makes up the siphon has an inside diameter of 40 mm and terminates with a 25-mm diameter nozzle. Assuming that there are no energy losses in the system, calculate the volume flow rate through the siphon and the pressure at points B-E. 25-mm diameter 1.2 m Pp=0 Question - 5
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...
Air flows in a 0.50 m diameter pipe at a rate of 15 m/s as shown in Figure 6 Q4 (a) The pipe diameter changes to 1.0 m through a sudden expansion K, Note: For sudden expansion: Assess the pressure rise across this expansion. i. (9 marks) Explain how there can be a pressure rise across the expansion when i there is an energy loss (K, # 0) (2 marks) D2-1.0m Di-0.50 m Q= 15 m/s (1) (2) Figure 6:...
Question 1 The figure below shows a simple water pipe network. Relevant pipe properties are given in the figure and table below. The major losses of the pipes can be calculated by Darcy Weisbach equation. The friction factor () for all pipes is 0.015. Assuming that minor losses in the pipe network can be ignored and the pipe network is on a horizontal plane, determine the flow rates in all pipes using Hardy Cross method. Also, calculate the pressure head...
35. (a) A reservoir A discharges water to a lower reservoir B through a 3600 m long pipe of diameter 600 mm. The flow is due to gravity and the difference in surface water levels in A and B is 13 m. Reservoir A is now required to supply water also to a third reservoir C, the water surface of which is 15 m below that of A. The discharge to C is to be made from a 1200 m...
Q4 Question 4 a) Derive the Rigid Column Theory of unsteady fluid flow analysis in pipelines. 10 marks b) A 1.75km horizontal pipe, 0.9m in diameter, is supplied by a constant-head tank. The water level in the tank is 15 m above the discharge point of the pipe. The pipe discharges directly into the atmosphere, with the flow controlled by a valve at its end. i. Calculate the pressure rise at the valve for a rigid water column if the...
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...
Water flow in a pipe and then exit through a bended nozzle as shown in Figure 3. The nozzle is connected to the main pipe using a flanged joint at (1). The diameter of the pipe is D1 10 cm and is constant, whilst the diameter at the outlet section of the nozzle (2) is D2 3 em. The flowrate of the water is Q = 15 liter/s and the water pressure at the flange is Pi 230 kPa. By...
For flow in a pipe of uniform diameter D the loss in hydraulic head, h, is given by: L u2 D 2 where L is the length of the pipe, u is the average flow velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and f is a constant. During reconfiguration of a plant it is estimated that the length of the pipe could be reduced by 15% and its diameter increased by 6%. Calculate the maximum percentage by which The...
