A team of engineers tasked with the design of a pipe system is currently sizing some of the different subsections. The team has started by identifying two types of pipes, each of them involving different fluids (water and glycerin) as shown in Figure 4 below. Material roughness is e = 10μm for both.

Transcribed Image Text:Question 4
A team of engineers tasked with the design of a pipe system is currently sizing
some of the different subsections. The team has started by identifying two types
of pipes, each of them involving different fluids (water and glycerin) as shown in
Figure 4 below. Material roughness is e = 10μm for both.
D₁ = 0.1m
D₂ = 0.15m

Pw=999 kg/m³
P = 0.00112 N-s/m²
P₁ = 1260 kg/m³
#₂ = 1.5 N-s/m²

1.1D ₂
Consider only Section 1, where pipe diameter is respectively Di and D2, and
estimate the head loss per meter when the volume flow rate within each
pipe is Q=0.05 m³/s. Refer to the given values of density (p) and dynamic
viscosity (u) indicated in the figure as well as to the Moody chart in the next
page where appropriate.
As also shown in the figure above, the diameter of the pipe increases by 10%
across a sudden expansion for both cases. What is the head loss per meter
over Section 2?
In order to account for minor losses, estimate the head loss due to the
sudden expansion in between Sections 1 and 2.
