The parallel galvanized iron pipe system of Fig. delivers water at 20°C with a total flow rate of 0.036 m3/s.If the pump is wide open and not running, with a loss coefficient K = 1.5, determine (a) the flow rate in each pipe and(b) the overall pressure drop.
A water pump is used to pump water from one large reservoir to another large reservoir that is at a higher elevation. The free surfaces of both reservoirs are exposed to atmospheric pressure, as sketched in Fig. The dimensions and minor loss coefficients are provided in the figure. The pump’s performance is approximated by the expression Havailable = H0 − aV.2 , where the shutoff head H0 = 125 ft of water column, coefficient a = 2.50 ft/(gpm)2 , available pump head Havailable is in units of feet of water column, and capacity V. is in units of gallons per minute (gpm). Estimate the capacity delivered by the pump

Can you use the friction factor for turbulent flow in a smooth circular tube to predict the fiction factor in an internally finned tube by using the hydraulic diameter?
A certain part of stainless-steelpiping of a water distribution system involves a parallel section.Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 30 cm. One of the branches (pipe A) is 1500 m long while the other branch (pipe B) is 2500 m long. If the flow rate through pipe A is 0.4 and 0.31 m3/s, respectively. Pipe A has a half-way-closed gate valve (KL= 3)while pipe B has a fully open globe valve (KL= 9), and the other minor losses are negligible. Determine the mechanical power of pump for the system.
Suppose the pump of Fig. P14–23 is operating atfree delivery conditions. The pipe, both upstream and downstreamof the pump, has an inner diameter of 2.0 cm andnearly zero roughness. The minor loss coefficient associatedwith the sharp inlet is 0.50, each valve has a minor loss coefficientof 2.4, and each of the three elbows has a minor losscoefficient of 0.90. The contraction at the exit reduces thediameter by a factor of 0.60 (60% of the pipe diameter), andthe minor loss coefficient of the contraction is 0.15. Note thatthis minor loss coefficient is based on the average exit velocity,not the average velocity through the pipe itself. The total length of pipe is 6.7 m, and the elevation difference is (z1 - z2)= 4.6 m. Estimate the volume flow rate through this pipingsystem. Complete Answer, Thank you
The old Hydraulics laboratory in Mechanical Engineering used a roof tank tosupply apparatus with water at a nearly constant head. The water wascollected in an under floor sump, and then pumped back to the roof tankafter the experiment. The flow rate was 10 litre s-1. The tank was 6m abovethe sump, and the length of the pipe route was 15 m. The old 6” pipes arenow heavily corroded (k = 7.5 mm). The old pump has been scrapped. Whathead ΔH would be specified for a pump to restore the system using the oldpipes? What would the pump power be? If the pipes were replaced with 150mm diameter PVC pipes, what pump ΔH would be required?
Design the duct system shown below using Equal friction method, and determine the fan power when the fan efficiency is 68%. The duct is circular. Take the velocity in the main duct AB equal to 7 m/s. Assume a dynamic loss coefficient of 0.5 in T fitting and 0.8 in elbow fitting. Given AB = BC = 10m and BD = 25m .
Find the minimum diameter of a smooth tube to ensure the flow of water at an average velocity of 100 cm/s remains turbulent. Use vwater = 1E-6 m2 /s. [Ans.: 4 mm]
Two reservoirs are connected by a pipe whose total length is 36 m as shown in Figure 2. From the upper reservoir, the pipe is 250 mm in diameter for a length of 12 m and the remaining 24 m are 125 mm in diameter. The entrance of the pipe is a square-edge inlet and the change of section is sudden. The difference in levels of the water in the two reservoirs is 10 m. The friction coefficient, f, is 0.06 for both pipes and the loss coefficient, K, for sudden contraction is 0.3. Determine the flow rate in the system. Type of losses:Entrance loss (square edge inlet)Friction loss due to pipe 1 (f=0.06)Sudden contraction (K=0.3)Friction loss due to pipe 2 (f=0.06)Exit loss (K=1.0)
A pelton type turbine was installed 31m below the head gate of the penstock. The head loss due to friction is 15% of the given elevation. The length of the penstock is 80m and the coefficient of friction is 0.00093. Determine the power output in MW.
