Transcribed Image Text:Еxample 1.3
The pressure drop over a 30-m length of 1-cm-diameter horizontal pipe transporting
water at 20°C is measured to be 2kPa. A laminar flow is assumed. Determine (a) the
maximum velocity in the pipe, (b) the Reynolds number, (c) the wall shear stress, and (d)
the friction factor.
Solution to be worked in class
Example 1.4
Consider a constant diameter pipe with oil flowing through it. SG of the oil =0.85,
kinematic viscosity = 6X10“ m²/s, diameter = 15cm and discharge = 0.02 m/s. The center
of the pipeline at the exit is 2m above that at the entry to the pipeline. Find the head loss
in 100 m length of pipe and the pressure drop at the exit of the pipe.
