2.18. Water leaves a reservoir at 0.06 m³/s through a 200-mm riveted steel pipeline that protrudes into the reservoir and then immediately turns a 90° bend with a local (minor) loss coefficient equal to 0.3. Estimate the length of pipeline required for the friction losses to account for 90% of the total losses, which includes both friction losses and so-called "minor losses." Would it be fair to say that for pipe lengths shorter than the length calcu- lated in this problem, the word "minor" should not be used?

Transcribed Image Text:2.18. Water leaves a reservoir at 0.06 m³/s through a 200-mm
riveted steel pipeline that protrudes into the reservoir
and then immediately turns a 90° bend with a local
(minor) loss coefficient equal to 0.3. Estimate the length
of pipeline required for the friction losses to account
for 90% of the total losses, which includes both friction
losses and so-called "minor losses." Would it be fair to
say that for pipe lengths shorter than the length calcu-
lated in this problem, the word "minor" should not be
used?
