Mechanical-Energy Balance and Friction Losses. Hot water is being discharged from a storage tank at the rate of o.223 ft3/s. The process flow diagram and conditions are the same as given in Example 2.10-6, except for different nominal pipe sizes of schedule 40 steel pipe as follows. The 20-ft-long outlet pipe from the storage tank is 1-in. pipe instead of 4-in. pipe. The other piping, which was 2-in. pipe, is now 2.5-in. pipe. Note that now a sudden expansion occurs after the elbow in the 13-in. pipe to a 2}-in pipe.

A 230-m-long pipeline delivers 20◦C water to a storage reservoir located downstream. The pipeline is galva-nized with an average roughness height of 0.2 mm. An axial pump is used to pressurize upstream water. Thewater surface in the reservoir is located 18 m above the centerline of the pump. The pump discharges waterat an absolute pressure of 400 kPa and a volume flow rate of 50 L/s. Calculate a diameter of pipe requiredto achieve such an operating condition. If needed, use the Moody diagram on the last page, or one can solvethe Colebrook equation using, for example, Matlab.
