A certain part of cast iron piping of a water distribution involves a parallel section as shown in Figure Q2(b). Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 30 cm, and the flow is fully turbulent. One of the branches (pipe A) is 1500 m long while the other branch (pipe B) is 2500 m long. The flowrate through pipe A is 4 m/s. If the friction factor of pipe A and pipe B are the same, determine flowrate through pipe B. Assume the water temperature is 15°C and disregard minor losses.

(b) A certain part of cast iron piping of a water distribution involves a parallel section as shown in Figure Q2(b). Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 30 cm, and the flow is fully turbulent. One of the branches (pipe A) is 1500 m long while the other branch (pipe B) is 2500 m long. The flowrate through pipe A is 4 m³/s. If the friction factor of pipe A and pipe B are the same, determine flowrate through pipe B. Assume the water temperature is 15°C and disregard minor losses.
A large tank is partly filled with oil (s.g.= 0.85), the air space above being under pressure. A 50 mm ϕ hose connected to the tank discharges on the roof of a building 15.25 m above the level in the tank. The friction loss is 5.50 m. What air pressure in KPa must be maintained in the tank to deliver 0.0124 m3/s on the roof?
Water flows from Reservoir A to Reservoir B. The pipe diameter D is 1 m, and the pipe length L is 300 m.

Water flows through pipe A whose diameter is 30 cm and into parallel pipes 1, 2 and 3 and out through Pipe B (diameter= 30 cm). The properties of the pipe are as follows: for pipe 1, L= 300 m, diameter = 10 cm f= 0.020; for pipe 2 L= 240 m diameter= 15 cm f= 0.018 and for pipe 3, L= 600 deiameter= 20 cm f= 0.017. The upstram junction has an Elev. 90 m with pressure of 205 kPa; the downstream junction is at Elev. 30 m. If the average velocity in pipe A is 3.0 m/s, find the flow rate in pipe 3. include your free body diagram. a.24.68 L/s b.80.21 L/s c.107.11 L/s d.212.0 L/s
Tank 1 Tank 2 g Question 1 Consider the flow of water (p= 10³ kg/m³, u = 10³ Pa-s) from tank 1 to tank 2. A centrifugal pump is installed in this piping system with length L = 300 m and diameter D = 40 cm cast-iron pipe. The water surface of tank 1 is 15 m higher than the water surface of tank 2. You may neglect minor losses but not major losses. The gravity cannot be neglected. Assume steady-state and no friction in the tanks. (a) Simplify the equation of the system curve Ap vs Q. Do not place numerical data. (b) Plot the system curve Ap vs Q (0 ≤Q≤2 m³/s). (c) Find the volumetric flow rate when the pump is not operating. (d) Find the power supplied to the water and to the pump if n = 0.9 and 1 m³/s. (e) Consider a pump: Ap = 106 105 Q², where Ap in Pa and Q in m³/s. Find the operating point. What is the minimum and maximum volumetric flow rate that this pump can deliver?
