A branch duct for a heating system measures 76 mm * 154 mm. Compute the circular equivalent diameter. Then determine the maximum flow rate of air that the duct could carry while limiting the friction loss to 0.82 Pa/m
Calculate the minimal head of the pump required to pump 1 m³ of water per second to the height 10 m trough a pipe with cross sectional area 0.1 m². Assume constant friction coefficient f = 0.04 and neglect all losses in fittings. The pump head is the gravity head plus losses and so it can be found?
A horizontal air duct reduces in cross-sectional area from 0.070 m² to 0.020 m². Assuming no losses, what pressure change will occur when 6.67 N/s of air flows? (Use y = 31.4 N/m for pressure and temperature conditions involved.)
