Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.30PP
Forthe conditions shown in figs. 19.719- 19.10 0, complete the design of the duct system by specifying the sizes for all duct sections necessary to achieve a system that is balanced when it carries the flow rates shown. Compute the pressure at the fan outlet, assuming that the final outlets from the duct system are to atmospheric pressure. When an inlet duct section is shown, also complete its design and compute the pressure at the fan inlet. Note that there is no single best solution to these problems, and several design decisions must be made. It may be desirable to change certain features of the suggested system design to improve its operation or to make it simpler to achieve a balanced system.

A piping system is to be installed at place where the pump will transfer the fluid from tank A to tank B. There are two suggested piping designs available to carry the fluid efficiently. Compute and determine which of the available piping arrangement will experience the less pumping powerwith given flow conditions. Discuss the results.
Flow conditions are same for both type of designs and given as: Pipe material: stainless steel Volume flow rate: 40 L/sec Assume the working fluid is water at standard atmosphere temperature and both tanks areopen to atmosphere. Pipe inlet is sharp-edged and bends are sharped without vanes. Elevations are as ?? = ?? ? and ?? = ?? ?
Compare a orifice plate for low speed to a Pitot Static Tube.
Calculate the power supplied to the pump shown if its efficiency is 75%. Water is at 25 degrees Celsius is flowing at the rate of 50.0 m3/h. The suction linf is a standard DN 100 Schedule 40 steel pip, 15m long. The total length of DN 50 Schedule 40 steel pipe in the discharge line is 200m. The elbows are tight, the entrance to the pipe is flush and the globe valve is completely open. Draw the line of total and piezometric heights.
