A 200 ft long steel (sheet metal) pipe 3 in in diameter connects two reservoirs of high viscosity fluid as show in the figure. The dynamic viscosity of the fluid is 0.0002 lb – s/ft², and its density 1.86 slugs/ft³. The flow rate is measured at 200 gpm. Determine the elevation between the two tanks. Take into account the pipe surface roughness and all the minor losses associated with this system (as shown).

Water at 10°C has a kinematic viscosity of 1.30 X 10-6 m2/s flows at the rate of 895.55 L/min from the reservoir and through the pipe shown in the Fig. below. Compute the pressure at point B, considering the energy loss due to friction, but neglecting other losses. Also, use pipe roughness of 1.50 X 10-6 m. Hint: Use the appropriate formula to determine the friction factor, f to 4 decimal places (flow type dependant); g = 9.81 and round off to 3 decimal places for all other step calculations leading to the final answer including the final answer.
Natural gas, which is essentially methane is being pumped through a 1m ID steel pipe for a distance of 100 km at a rate of 2 kmol/s. It can be assumed that the flow is isothermal at 289 K. The pressure at the end of the line is 170 kPa. Assuming that the viscosity of the gas is 1.08963x10-5 Pa-s, calculate the pressure (kPa) at the pump discharge.
Question 2A large vat contains water, which contains a drainage pipe at a height h1, as shown infigure 2. The drainage pipe has a length L. = 0.4 m, and a radius R = 15 mm, and releaseswater to the atmosphere at a flow rate Q. The connection between the pipe and the vatwall has a loss coefficient of KL = 0.8.Point A is in the middle of the tank at a height, hi.You can assume that the flow in the drainage pipe is fully developed and laminar. The density of water is p = 1000 kg/m° and the viscosity is u = 1 mPa.s. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s? a) Find an expression for the pressure at point A.b) Find an expression in terms of Q, L, d, K, p and u for the pressure losses along the pipe (including the losses at the inlet and exit).c) If the flowrate out of the drainage tank is Q = 50 L/min, find ho.
