Water flows steadily through a horizontal 30 degree pipe bend. At the inlet point 1, the diameter is 0.3 m, the velocity is 12 m/s, and the pressure is 128 kPa gauge. At the outlet point 2, the diameter is 0.38 m and the pressure is 145 kPa gauge. Determine the forces F_x and F_y necessary to hold the pipe stationary.
Your team is designing a chemical processing plant. You are the liquid handling and transportation specialist, and you need to transport a solvent (μ = 3.1 cP, ρ = 122k kg/m3) from a storage tank to a reaction vessel. Due to other equipment constraints, the fluid velocity must be 0.8 m/sec, and you must use stainless steel piping (ε = 0.00015 mm) with a total length (L) of 12 m. Determine the pipe inner diameter (ID) you will need to achieve a pressure drop of 0.3 kPa. Use the Moody chart.
Problem Consider a cylindrical pipe of length L and diameter D = 2R. The angle that the axis of the pipe forms with the vertical direction is a. Assume that when the fluid enters the pipe its velocity is uniform (i.e., it has the same value over the entire cross-section of the pipe) and equal to U in the axial direction. In the radial and angular directions, the velocity is zero. So, it is: 2 =0: v(r, 0, 2) = Ue, (1.1) Here v is the fluid velocity and e, is a vector of unit magnitude parallel to the coordinate axis z; furthermore, we have assumed that the pipe inlet is located at z = 0. Near the entrance of the pipe, the velocity profile varies in the axial direction. But after a certain entrance length, the profile becomes fully developed, no longer changing with z. The evolution of the velocity profile is sketched in Fig. 1, where, for clarity, the pipe inclination is not shown. The entrance length is denoted by L.. For z > L., the fluid velocity is no longer a function of the axial…
Water flows steadily into the Venturi tube in the following figure. In the section considered, negligible friction losses and uniform properties in the sections are assumed. The entrance area (A1) is 20 cm2, while the throat area is A2 = 10 cm2. A pressure gauge whose manometric fluid is mercury (Yhg = 136,000 N / m3) is connected between the inlet sections and the throat, as seen in the figure. The flow of water that flows through the Venturi tube is requested (γH2O = 10,000 N / m3. Answer .: ϕ = 5.8 L / s.
Air flows steadily through the variable area pipe shown with negligible viscous effects. Determine the flow rate in terms of h, D, d as shown in the diagram. Calculate the air flow rate in m^3/s if h = 0.1m, D = 0.3 m, and d = 0.15 m.
A pipe of 50 mm diameter and 4,5 km length connects two reservoirs whose constant difference of water level is 12 m. A branch pipe 1,25 km long and taken from a point distance of 1,5 km from reservoir A, which leads to reservoir C whose water level is 15 m below that of reservoir A. Find the diameter of the branch pipe so that the flow into both the reservoirs is the same. Assume the coefficient of friction for each pipe, f=0.0075,and neglect minor losses.
Water enters a house through a pipe with an inside diameter of 20 mm at an absolute pressure of 4 ATM. A 10 mm diameter pipe leads to a second-floor bathroom 5.0 m above.

Water (ρ = 1000 kg/m3) is flowing vertically in the pipe shown below. The top, middle, and bottom parts have radii of r1 = 3 cm, r2 = 1 cm, and r3 = 3 cm, respectively. The speed of water flow and the gauge pressure at point 1 are v1 = 20 cm/s and P1 gauge = 200 Pa. The height difference between point 1 and 2, point 2 and 3 is 10 cm. Use g = 10 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. What is the speed of the water flow at point 2? What is the gauge pressure at point 2? What is the speed of the water flow at point 3? What is the gauge pressure at point 3?

Find an expression for the velocity of water leaving the sprinkler. Find an expression for the gauge pressure at point A, a distance L1, upstream of the narrow pipes. Express the answer in terms of the flowrate, Q. The inner diameter of the first segment of the pipe is d1=10mm, the inner diameter of the second set of pipes is d2=1mm, with N=25. The flowrate through the sprinkler is Q=0.2 L/s. Flow in pipes typically becomes turbulent when the Reynolds number exceeds 2000. Comment on the accuracy of the assumption that the flow could be treated as laminar everywhere. May be assumed water has a density of 1000kg/m^3 and a viscosity of 1mPa s.
A vertical pipe is shown in figure 1 below. The pipe tapers from 50 mm in diameter to 25 mm in diameter. If 2 liters of water per minute flow upwards through the pipe the pressure difference across the pipe is 35 kpa. Calculate the flow downwards through the pipe if the pressure across the pipe is to be zero. The losses across the pipe are given by h1=k((v2) ²-(v1)²)/2g,where v1 and v2 are the velocities in the 50 mm and the 25 mm sections respectively.
