Chapter 12, Problem 12.6PP

For the system shown in Fig. 12.11 the pressure at A is maintained constant at 20 psig. The total volume flow rate exiting from the pipe at B depends on which valves are open or closed. Use K   = 0.9 for each elbow, but neglect the energy losses in the tees. Also, because the length of each branch is short, neglect pipe friction losses. The steel pipe in branch 1 is 2-in Schedule

40, and branch 2 is 4-in Schedule 40. Calculate the volume flow rate of water for each of the following conditions:

  1. Both valves open.

  • Valve in branch 2 only open.
  • Valve in branch 1 only open.
  • Blurred answer

    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.
    Imagine the plug in the sink described in Problem 8.31 leaks. If it now takes 45 seconds to fill the sink to its rim, estimate the volumetric flow rate of the leak.
    18.A venture meter is a device that uses a constriction in a flow system to measure the velocity of flow, Figure 12 illustrate one type design. If the main pipe section is a standard hydraulic copper tube having a 100-mm outside diameter x 3.5-mm wall thickness, compute the volume flow rate when the velocity there is 3.0 m/s. Then, for that volume flow rate, specify the required size of throat section that would make the velocity there at least 15.0 m/s.
