Question

Based on the layout of the water supply system, as show in Figure 1, flow through the delivery pipe, Q = 2.50 cfs and diameter of the pipe, D = 2.65 inch with e = 0.015 inch. Ingore the minor pressure losses and use the following formulae to calculate the major pressure losses. The velocity of flow through the pipe and the friction factor, f, range are estimated to be nearly. Use g = 62.4 lb/ft^3 for water and use Moody's diagram. Water temperature is 20°C (68°F).

1) v = 39.2 ft/sec; f = 0.0175 -0.0180
2) v = 65.0 ft/sec; f = 0.030 -0.034
3) v = 69.2 ft/sec; f = 0.0175 -0.0250
4) v = 59.2 ft/sec; f = 0.020 - 0.024
