- For the duct system, plot required fan head Hrequired (mm of water column) as a function of volume flow rate V. (Lpm). On the same plot, compare available fan head Havailable versus V. , and mark the operating point. Discuss.arrow_forwardA 4-in-ductile iron pipe carries 0.20 ft/s of glycerin (sg = 1.26) at 100°F. Is the flow laminar or turbulent?arrow_forwardFor the flow of 12.9 L/min of water at 75 degrees Celcius in a plastic pipe, 16mm OD x 1.5mm wall, compute the expected maximum velocity of flow. Answer is 1.95m/s. Please show how to solve.arrow_forward
- For the siphon in Fig. 6.26, calculate the distance X re-quired to obtain a volume flow rate of 7.1 X 10-3m³/s.arrow_forwardThe following system is fed by a centrifugal pump. The piping is constructed from smooth plastic of OD 55 mm, wall thickness 2.5 mm. The minor losses for the system prior to the pump are given by KL = 12.0. The system curves for this pump are attached. If the flowrate is reduced to 1.4 m3/hr, and the upstream head requirement were 17 m, what would the electrical power requirement of the pump be?arrow_forwardoil has a spc.gravity of 0.94 with dynamic visc. of U=0.0096 N.sm/^2 flows in a 90 mm diamater pipe at 72 L/s. Find the friction head loss per meter of pipe. Density of Water =1000kg/m^3 1 liter is 0.001 m^3 Use moody diagramarrow_forward
- A 152.4 mm, Schedule 40 pipe line 91.4 m long conveys 3028 l/min of cold water from a pump to a point of discharge 24.4 m higher than the pump. There are four 90° elbow in the line. Find the pumps dynamic discharge head. Use Table of Equivalent Length of Straight Pipe (see image). Please help. Thank you :)arrow_forwardGlycerin, sg = 1.26 and μ = 1.49 Pa-s, flows through a 600-mm Ø pipe at 85 liters per second. a. What is the Reynold’s Number? b. What is friction factor? c. What is the critical velocity?arrow_forwardThe Alaska Pipeline in the chapter opener photo has a designflow rate of 4.4 E7 gallons per day of crude oil at 60°C(see Fig. A.1). (a) Assuming a galvanized-iron wall, estimatethe total pressure drop required for the 800-mile trip.(b) If there are nine equally spaced pumps, estimate thehorsepower each pump must deliver.arrow_forward
- Compute points on the velocity profile from the pipe wall to the centerline of a 3/4-in Type K copper tube if the volume flow rate of water at 60'F is Q 0.5 gal/min. Use increments of 0.05 in and include the velocity at the centerline. please be through and provide all calculus and graphs/tablesarrow_forwardA pipe of 180mm bore is delivering water at a rate of 8250dm3/min at a pressure 800kN/m2. It connects by a gradually expanding pipe to a main of 300mm bore which runs 3,5m above it. Find the pressure in the 300mm main, neglecting all losses.arrow_forwardAn air-conditioning system is designed to have a ductwith a rectangular cross section 1 ft by 2 ft, as shown. Duringconstruction, a truck driver backed into the duct and made it atrapezoidal section, as shown. The contractor, behind schedule,installed it anyway. For the same pressure drop along the pipe,what will be the ratio of the velocity in the trapezoidal duct tothat in the rectangular duct? Assume the Darcy-Weisbach resistance coefficient is the same for both ducts.arrow_forward
