Question
Water at a temperature of 35 °C is flowing steadily in a 2.5 mm diameter, 15-meter long tube at an average velocity of 0.60 m/sec. The cross-section is circular and the material is perfectly smooth. The flow can be considered fully developed. Find the following quantities:
a. The Reynolds number. State whether the flow is expected to be laminar or turbulent. (Check your math if you get a Reynolds number in the turbulent range.)
b. The Darcy friction factor, ?.
c. The pressure drop over the length of the tubing, Δ?, and the corresponding head loss, ℎ?.

- A tube bank uses an aligned arrangement of 12-mm diameter tubes with ST = SL = 20 mm. There are 8 rows of tubes with 20 tubes in each row. The tubes are maintained at a surface temperature of 400K, while the flue gas at 300OK and a velocity of 5 m/s are in cross flow over the tubes. The properties of the flue gas approximated as those of air at 300K are kinematic viscosity v=15.89x10-6 m2/s, k=26.3x10³ W/m-K, Pr=0.707, p=1.1614 kg/m³, Cp=1007 J/kg-K. At 400K, Pr;=0.690. Determine 1) Average convention heat transfer coefficient; 2) Rate of heat transfer per unit length of the tubes in the bank.arrow_forwardWater (specific gravity, G, is 1.0 and the kinematic viscosity, ν, is 1.14 *10-6 m2 /s) flows through a piping system with a flow rate of 0.9 m3/s. The pipe is 2800 m long and 600 mm inside diameter. The pipe has three gate valves, two globe valves, one swing check valve, three standard teesthrough-branch, and four 90o standard elbows. Calculate the following:a- The total length of that piping system.b- Is the flow laminar or turbulent?arrow_forwardProblem 1 – A laminar flow fluid of known density (ρ) and viscosity (μ) flows between twoparallel plates with different velocities in the same direction. The top plate has a velocity Utop inthe positive x direction. The bottom plate has a velocity Ubot in the positive x direction. The twoplates are a distance of “a” apart. There is a pressure gradient in the x direction ( ). Derivean expression of the velocity and shear stress profiles between the two platesarrow_forward
- Blue and yellow streams of paint (each with a density of 1.6 slugs/ft³ and a viscosity 1500 times greater than water) enter a pipe with an average velocity of 9 ft/s as shown in the figure below. Would you expect the paint to exit the pipe as green paint or separate streams of blue and yellow paint? Explain. Repeat the problem if the paint were "thinned" so that it is only 10 times more viscous than water. Assume the density remains the same, and the temperature is 60°F. Classify the flow. Splitter Laminar Yellow Blue Laminar flow has mixing only by molecular diffusion. Turbulent flow has mixing due to large scale fluctuations. Reynolds number is a measure of whether flow is laminar or turbulent. Classification of viscous flow as laminar or turbulent dictates how the flow is analyzed. What is the Reynolds number for the flow with a viscosity 1500 times that of water? Re= 2 in. What is the entrance length for this Reynolds number? le= ft Green? 25 ftarrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwritten solution...arrow_forward
