Pressure Drop of Power-Law Fluid in Laminar FlowA power-law fluid having a density of 1041 kg/m3 is flowing through 14.9 m of a tubing with an inside diameter of 0.0524 m at an average velocity of 0.0728 m/s. The rheological or flow properties of the fluid are K′ = 15.23N·sn′/m2 (0.318 lbf·sn′/ft2) and n′ = 0.40. Calculate the pressure drop and friction loss using Eq. (9.1-10) for laminar flow. Check the generalized Reynolds number to make sure that the flow is laminar. Repeat part (a) but use the friction-factor method

A clothes dryer discharges air at 1 atm and 120°F at a rate of 1.2 ft3/s when its 5-in-diameter, well-rounded vent with negligible loss is not connected to any duct. Determine the flow rate when the vent is connected to a 15-ft-long, 5-in-diameter duct made of galvanized iron, with three 90° flanged smooth bends. Take the friction factor of the duct to be 0.019, and assume the fan power input to remain constant.
Consider laminar flow through a very long straight section of round pipe, that the velocity profile through a cross-sectional area of the pipe is parabolic with the axial velocity component given by V = 2Vavg(1 − r2/R2) where R is the radius of the inner wall of the pipe and Vavg is the average velocity.

certain part of cast iron piping of a water distribution system involves a parallel section. Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 30 cm, and the flow is fully turbulent. 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 m3/s, determine the flow rate through pipe B. Disregard minor losses and assume the water temperature to be 15°C. Show that the flow is fully rough, and thus the friction factor is independent of Reynolds number. assuming pipe A has a halfwayclosed gate valve (KL = 2.1) while pipe B has a fully open globe valve (KL = 10), and the other minor losses are negligible.

In large buildings, hot water from the water tank is continously recurculated in a loop to avoid long waits for hot water while cold water drains out of the pipe first. A certain recirculating loop is 30 m long and uses 22 mm diameter polyethene pipes which have a surface roughness of 0.0005 mm. The loop contains six 90 degree elbows, each with a local loss coefficient of 0.3. If the average flow velocity is 2.5 m s1, determine the required power input for the recirculating pump if its efficiency is 80%.
