A hydrocarbon oil (Viscosity 0.025 Pa.s and density 900 kg/ m³) is transported using a 0.6 m diameter, 10 km long. The maximum allowable pressure drop across the pipe length is 1 Mpa. Due to a maintenance schedule on this pipe line. It is required to use a 0.4 m diameter 10 km long pipe to pump the oil at the same volumetric flow rate as in the previous case. Estimate the pressure drop for the 0.4 m diameter pipe. Assume both pipe to be hydraulically smooth and in the range of operating conditions. The Fanning friction factor is given byf 0.079 Re -0.25
Fluid Mechanics Problem
Water is pumped at the rate of 0.075m3/s from a reservoir 20m above a pump to a free discharge 35 m above the pump. The pressure in in take side of the pump is 150kpa and the pressure on the discharge side is 450kpa. All pipes are commercial steel of 15cm diameter. Determine (a) the head supplied by the pump and (b) the total head loss between the pump and point of free discharge.
The pipe is a schedule-40 stainless steel pipe. The final answer should be in units of psi/ft.
6.39. Two large water tanks are connected by a 10-ft piece of 3-in pipe. The levels in the tanks are equal. When the pressure difference between the tanks is 30 lbf/in², what is the flow rate through the pipe?
C2. A conical tube is fixed vertically with its smaller end upwards and it forms a part of the pipeline. The velocity at the smaller end is 5.3 m/s and at the larger end is 2.9 m/s. The length of the conical tube is 1.2 m and the flow rate of the water is 125 liters/s. The pressure at the smaller end is equivalent to a head of 8.5 m of water. Considering the following two cases: (1) Neglecting friction,(without head loss) determine (i) the diameter at the smaller end in meter, (ii) the diameter at the larger end in meter, and (iii) the pressure at the larger end of the tube in m of water. (2) If a head loss (with head loss)in the tube,h= 0.0153(V1-V2)2 , where V1 is the velocity at the smaller end and V2 is the velocity at the larger end, determine (iv) the head loss in m of water and (v) the pressure at the larger end of the tube in m of water. (Enter only the values by referring to the unit given. Also, upload the handwritten answers in the link provided) (i) the diameter at the…
