10.) A horizontal pipe gradually reduces from 300 mm diameter section to 100 mm
diameter section. The pressure at the 300 mm section is 100 kPa and at the 100 mm
section is 70 kPa. If the flow rate is 15 liters/sec of water, compute the head lost
between the two sections.
Answer: 2.872m

Lesson: Relative Equilibrium of Liquids
Fundamentals of Fluid Flow
The difference in elevation between the source of the water supply and the
centerline of the base of the nozzle of a Pelton wheel is 1200 feet. During a
test the pressure at the end of the nozzle was 512 psig when the flow was 42
cfs. Inside diameter of the penstock is 28 inches. Calculate:
a) Water horsepower at the base of the nozzle.
b) Brake horsepower developed by Pelton wheel if efficiency is 82%.
c) Friction loss.
How many liters per second of water must the pump shown supply when the flowneeded in the 915-mm diameter pipe is 1.314 cu.m./sec. Assume f=0.017 for allpipes.

- Include a free body diagram. pump draws water from a sump through a vertical 6′′ pipe. The pump has a horizontal discharge pipe 4′′ in diameter that is 10.6 ft above the water level in the sump. While pumping 1.25 cfs, gages near the pump at entrance and discharge read —4.6 psi and +25.6 psi, respectively. The discharge gage is 3.0 ft above the suction gage. Compute the horsepower output of the pump and the head lost in the 6′′ suction pipe. (ANSWER: 10.7 Hp, 2.4 ft)arrow_forwardA pump is used to lift water at ambient temperature from one tank to another at a rate of 08/50 m3/min. If the pipe diameter is 4 in, calculate the power required to run the pump (efficiency 70%). The pipe material is commercial steel and contains 3 standard radius elbows. Assume h=1 cP. Calculate the Reynolds number and the friction head loss using the Moody chart attached, Using Colebrook equation. Calculate the other losses and the total loss, (Calculate the required power. Flow rate is not necessary for answering the question.arrow_forwardWhat is the Reynolds # of the flow.? Water @ 15C is transported from a large open tank to the bottom of another open tank above. The surfaces of the two tanks are kept at 160ft apart vertically. The pipes used have an ID of 3.5 inches, and a total length of the pipe used is 150ft. In the system, there are two fully open gate valves, 6 90° elbows, and 2 standard tees. The pump used has a mechanical efficiency of 60%, and the volumetric flow rate of water is at 35 (ft^3)/s. Assume frictional losses frm sudden contraction and expansion are negligible.arrow_forward
- Water is pumped from a reservoir to a tank with a lift of 20.0 ft. The suction pipe, which connects the reservoir to the pump, has a 12in diameter and is 25ft long. The discharge pipe, which connects the pump to the tank, has a 10in diameter and is 450ft long. Both pipes may be classified as clean, smooth cast iron pipes. The suction pipe projects into the reservoir and discharge pipe projects into the tank. Considering all losses, calculate the horsepower required to operate the pump to discharge 1346 gpm into the tank.arrow_forwardQuestion 7. Since the velocity of the fluid passing through the 4 mm diameter pneumatic pipe in the pneumatic system is 200 cm/s; a) What is the flow rate of the compressed air in lt/min? b) Calculate the velocity of the air passing through 6 mm diameter in the same pressure line.arrow_forwardSpecifications: The total length of pipe in the three inch branch is 10 ft, and the length of pipe in the one inch branch is 8 ft. Brine (sg=1.04, m=10-3Pa*s) flows at 250gpm through the entrance at point A. Assume fully turbulent flow in both branches (f=ft). Pipes are standard Schedule 40 steel pipes.

- A pumping station wet well operates between 540- and 550-ft elevation. The pump curve is deϐined by the following points: 80 ft at zero ϐlow, 78 ft at 200 gpm, 65 ft at 800 gpm, and 50 ft at 1200 gpm. The pump discharge contains an equivalent of 50 ft of 6-in. pipe. The discharge pipe is 120-ft long and terminates at a splitter box, elevation 570. Using C=100, plot the pump curve and the corrected pump curve. Plot the pump discharge curves at each wet well elevation and for C=100 and C=140. What is the pump ϐlow at the low and high wet well elevations for newand old pipe?arrow_forwardThe system shown below uses a pump to transfer heavy fuel oil (T= 25°C) from the lower tank to the upper tank at the rate of 3600 L/min. All pipe is DN 100 Schedule 40 steel (total system length of 310 m) and the pressure line has two 90° long radius elbows and two 45º standard elbows. Valves are: fully open gate valve(s); 2 swing-type check valve, fully open butterfly valve. Determine: a. The head loss in meters due to pipe friction. b. The head loss in meters due to minor losses c. The required pump power in kW. d. The pressure at the pump inlet (suction line is 10 m long). Is this pressure a vacuum? e. The pressure at the pump outlet.arrow_forwardHint: For part (a), use conservation of energy equation (Bernoulli equation with losses) and assume the blower is just outside the control volume. Assume loss coefficients of 0.5 and 1.0 for entrance and exit, and that a plastic pipe is used (roughness = 0). Use the Colebrook or Haaland equation to approximate the friction factor. Also assume that the sum of the static pressure head and elevation head doesn't change significantly between the entrance and exit. In other words, although the elevation head will increase, the pressure head will decrease to compensate. This assumes the atmospheric pressure change is γ*Δz, which is a decent estimate for elevation changes less than ~1000 ft or so).- For part (b), use textbook equation 1.4 and assume a 100% efficient blower. Also, compare the power needed to power the blower with the world's largest non-hydro power plant in the…arrow_forward
