Two reservoirs are connected by a vertical pipe as in Figure 1 below. The distance between both surface levels is 6 m. The fluid is ethyl alcohol at 20 degrees centigrade (density=789 kg/m³, dynamic viscosity=0.0012 kg/m/s), and the tanks are very wide. Please determine the limiting pipe diameter for which the flow abandons the laminar regime and becomes turbulent flow. 6 m 4.5 m

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.

A water tank used for fire fighting is shown in the figure. A fire extinguishing installation was installed by the cast iron pipe (roughness value ε=0.005mm) from the steady, incompressible water flow for pipe length Lpipe=126.2 m and pipe diameter D=106.2 mm. The height of the tank from the pipeline is h= 24.62 meters. A gate valve is placed on the end line of the installation. Accept that the local pressure loss equivalent length of the gate valve is given as Le/D=8.62, neglect other local pressure losses in the pipe line installation. In places 1 and 2 shown in the figure, the pressure is atmospheric pressure. i-Accordingly, calculate the speed, volumetric flow rate and mass flow rate of the water when the gate valve is opened in this installation.
