A storage tank is connected to a piping system as illustrated in Figure P1. Water at temperature of 20°C in the storage tank flows through a piping system with the pipe's diameter of 5 cm and discharges from a nozzle to the atmospheric at velocity of 3.5 m/s. The diameter of the nozzle is 3cm. Galvanized pipe is used and installed in this piping system. All the fitting components installed in this system such as regular 90° and tees are flanged type. The Water at 20°C 21 m D= 5 cm d- 3 cm After 5 years of operation, the accumulation of the dirt and other micro particles stained on the pipe's wall surface have significantly reduced the water discharge from the nozzle. Please explain this phenomenon.

Question
A storage tank is connected to a piping system as illustrated in Figure P1. Water at
temperature of 20°C in the storage tank flows through a piping system with the pipe's
diameter of 5 cm and discharges from a nozzle to the atmospheric at velocity of 3.5 m/s.
The diameter of the nozzle is 3cm. Galvanized pipe is used and installed in this piping
system. All the fitting components installed in this system such as regular 90° and tees are
flanged type. The
Water at 20°C
21 m
D= 5 cm
d- 3 cm
After 5 years of operation, the accumulation of the dirt and other micro particles
stained on the pipe's wall surface have significantly reduced the water discharge from
the nozzle. Please explain this phenomenon.
