Chapter 16, Problem 16.15PP

A reducer connects a standard 6 -in Schedule 40 pipe to a 3 -in Schedule 40 pipe. The walls of the conical reducer are tapered at an included angle of 40 ° . The flow rate of water is 500 gal/min and the pressure ahead of the reducer is 125 psig. Considering the energy loss in the reducer, calculate the force exerted on the reducer by the water.

A pumped fluid distribution system is being designed to deliver 400 gal/min of water to a cooling system in a power generation plant. Use the figure below to make an initial selection of Schedule 40 pipe sizes for the suction and discharge lines for the system. Also, solve for the actual average velocity of flow for each pipe.
Question 8 Two reservoirs are connected by a pipe whose total length is 360m.From the upper reservoir the pipe is 300mm in diameterfor a length of 150m and the remaining 210m is 450mm in diameter.The difference in water levels between the two reservoirs are 8m.Take f=0.006 for the smaller pipe and f=0.005 for the larger pipe.If all the changes in pipe sections are sharp and sudden, calculate the flow rate which can be delivered.
A water piping system is 3000 ft of NPS 20-inch pipe that has three gate valves, one globe valve, one lift check valve, and two standard tees through the flow. Calculate the total pipe length that will include all the straight pipe and valves and fittings. Calculate the pressure drop due to friction if the average flow rate is assumed to be 6.7 ft3/s. Take the value of the Darcy friction factor from Prob (1).
