Water flows from an elevated storage tank through 1800 ft of smooth pipe to feed a system that requires at least 20 gallons per minute at 40 psig (at the right end of the pipe shown in the sketch below). Remember to show all of your work and find the minimum diameter of pipe that will permit the desired operation. For simplicity, you may neglect minor losses. Recall that 1 gallon is 0.1337 ft. L=1800 ft 20 gallons /min 40 psig 200 ft

A 2-inch diameter hose is conveying water at a flow rate of 20 gpm from point A to point B. The pressure at point A is 40 psi. The elevation at point A is 20 ft above mean sea level (MSL) and the elevation at point B is 18.5 ft above MSL. The hose is 100 ft long. Determine (a) pressure at point B if there is no head loss, (b) pressure at point B if head loss is 1 inch per foot of pipe length. (c) Compare pressure at B with and without headloss - what impact does head loss have?
During the daytime, water is drawn from an upper reservoir and is run through a turbine on its way to a lower reservoir in order to produce power. The pipe is 300 feet long and has a 2.0-foot diameter. It is constructed of commercial steel which has a roughness height of = 0:0018 in. Find the power extracted by the turbine if the downward volume áow rate is 20,000 gallons per minute.(Recall that H2O = 1:94 slugs/ft3, H2O = 2:4 10^-5 slugs/fts.) You may assume that the turbine is 100% efficient.(b) Find the maximum power the turbine can deliver. What is the volume flow rate (in gallons per minute) for maximum power output? (Hint: plot power vs. flow rate in order to answer this question.)
Based on the layout of the water supply system, how much pressure in psi will be available at the faucet of the 2nd floor of the residential building as show in Figure 1 below? The pressure at the source is 75 psi. Do you think that the pressure is enough for the building? Consider flow through the delivery pipe, Q = 3.75 cfs and diameter of the pipe, D = 4.25 inch. Ignore the minor pressure losses and use the following formulae to calculate the major pressure losses. If the pressure on the 2nd floor is not with the standard limit of 50 – 60 psi, a pump needs to be added in the place 65 ft from the source, as shown. Estimate the pump power in horsepower to provide a pressure of 58 psi in the house
Flow takes place between three reservoirs, as shown in Figure 1. The volume flow rate out of reservoirs A and B is 0,15 m³/s and 0,25 m³/s respectively. If the coefficient of friction for three pipes is 0,008, determine the relative elevations of the free surfaces. Neglect all losses other than friction. May you kindly resend the answers in a different format as they appear blank??
1. Water flows at a rate of 65 Li/min in a steel pipe of 45 mm diameter, K = 0.045x10-3 m, μ = 0.001 K/m.s. Determine the type of flow, the friction coefficient, and the head loss due to friction per meter length of the pipe using: (a) Moody chart and (b) using smooth pipe formula. 2. Determine the size of galvanized steel pipe needed to carry water for a distance of 180 m at 85 Li/s with a head loss of 9.0 m. Take ε = 0.15 mm.
Suppose a u-bend is redirecting a flow of water. The water enters flowing to the right at 10 m/s. The u-bend completely reverses the direction of the flow, so the water leaves flowing to the left. The area of the u-bend is constant, a circular cross-section of 0.12 m. The pressure in the fluid is measured at 50 kPa. The length of the u-bend is 0.46 m. Find the force, including magnitude and direction, to hold the u-bend in place.
Water enters a house through a pipe with an inside diameter of 20 mm at an absolute pressure of 4 ATM. A 10 mm diameter pipe leads to a second-floor bathroom 5.0 m above. When the flow speed at the inlet pipe is 4 m/s, (a) Find the speed of the water flow and pressure in the bathroom. (b) Find the volume flow rate in the bathroom. (c) What is the horse power rating of the motor pump at the inlet pipe needed? Assuming 60% Efficiency.
4. Brine (SG = 1.1, viscosity = 1.1cP) is pumped at a rate of 45 ft^3/min (ID = 2.5in) from large open reservoir to the bottom of another open tank. The liquid level in the reservoir is maintained at 5.2ft, and the liquid level in the reservoir and the bottom of the discharge tank are 18ft apart, vertically. Friction losses in the pipe amount to 10% of the elevation head. If 2.15 hp of power is required for the process, what is the expected liquid level in the receiving tank?
SOLVE CAREFULLY!! Please Write Clearly and Box the final Answer ( Show all steps ) Question : A good curve-fit to the head vs. flow for the 32-inch pump in the image shown below is: H(inft)≈500−(2.9E−7)Q2, Q in gal/min Assume the same rotation rate, 1170 r/min, and estimate the flow rate this pump will provide to deliver water from a reservoir, through 900 ft of 12-inch pipe, to a point 150 ft above the reservoir surface. Assume a friction factor f = 0.019. What is the pump efficiency at this operating point??? HINT : 150 ft above the reservoir surface.
You are the mechanical engineer supervising the layout of a piping system. In a certain portion of the pipe, the specifications are as follows: length of pipe is 10m, inside diameter of 30cm, outside diameter of 30.5cm, maximum allowable speed of 15m/s and a coefficient of 0.003456. If the uncertainties are 0.02mm for length, 0.8mm for the diameters and 0.1mm/s for the velocity, what loss of head will be imminent in this pipe?
