In a large student house in Sheffield, cold water is supplied by the mains water supply at a pressure of 2 bar, gauge, and at a temperature 10°C. A wash basin cold tap is located 3 meters above the mains supply, connected to the mains pipe with a copper pipe of internal diameter 15 mm and length 12 meters. When the tap is opened the flow rate of water out of the tap is 24 litres per minute, creating a Fanning friction factor in the pipe of 0.008. a) Calculate the Reynolds number of the water in the pipe and determine if it is laminar or turbulent. b) Calculate the pressure loss from friction, change in elevation, and hence the pressure of the water just before entering the tap. c) Name two assumptions that have been made in order to arrive at your answer to part b) and state if these assumptions under or over predict the pressure of the water just before entering the tap. d) If the value were not given, what procedure would be needed to determine the Fanning friction factor?

A venturimeter with a 10.16cm throat is installed in a 15.24cm pipe which is inclined upward at an angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal. If the distance between pressure taps along the pipe is 1.5, the difference in pressure is 70 kPa, and the water temperature is 70oC, what is the discharge of water in m3/sec? Assume coefficient of 0.985.
Q.3 A firm produces frozen fruits and vegetables, and a venturimeter is used in this process.In a certain step of the process, the cherries are introduced to the cold air stream at -12oC with a 3 in. pipe connected vertically to the throat of the venturimeter. Venturimeter is connected to a pipe 4 in. in diameter. If the air velocity in the throat is 5 times the terminal velocity of the cherries and the ratio of throat/pipe diameter is 0.6, what should be the flow rate of air? Assume that the density of cherries is 1200 kg/m3 and the average diameters are 12 mm. What should be the lay-out of the pipeline between venturimeter and freeze-dryer to prevent the striking of the cherries to the walls? Is there any settling possibility of the cherries at the exit of the venturimeter?
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?
Water is pumped to a storage tank from a pool by a centrifugal pump. The elevation difference between the pool and the storage tank is 60 m. The stórage tank and the pool are open to atmosphere. 50 meters of 6 in Sc 40 steel pipe is used between pool andpump. After the pump 6 in Sc 40 pipe with a length of 22 m is suddenly contracted to 4 in Sc 40 pipe, that is 70 m. The flow rate of water is 2.5 m/min and the temperature is 20°C. If the pump efficiency is 0.6 and the cost of electrical energy is 0.40 TL/kWh,calculate daily cost of electricity used for this system
