Question
Water at 15°C is drained from a large reservoir using two horizontal plastic pipes
connected in series (Figure 2). The first pipe is 13 m long and has a 10 cm diameter, while
the second pipe is 35 m long and has a 5 cm diameter. The volumetric flow rate of water
at the pipe exit is 0.06 m³/s. The water level in the reservoir is 18 m above the centerline
of the pipe. The pipe entrance is sharp-edged, and the contraction between the two pipes
is sudden. Neglecting the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, determine
a) pressure at the bottom of the water tank,
b) pressure drop across the pipe line,
c) velocities in the pipes,
d) total friction loss in the pipe line by calculating all the friction loss terms in the pipes.
Data: The density and dynamic viscosity of water at 15°C are p=999.1 kg/m³ and
u=1.138×103 kg/m-s, respectively. The loss coefficient is KĻ = 0.5 for a sharp-edged
entrance, and it is 0.46 for the sudden contraction. The pipes are made of plastic and thus
they are smooth, ɛ = 0.
