Transcribed Image Text:Water at 20 °C should flow from a large diameter supply tank of constant
pressure at 150 kPa (absolute) to a domestic boiler operating at the same
pressure at a rate of 0.15 kg s-1. The pipe that connects the water reservoir
to the boiler is a 7 m long cast iron pipe (you may neglect minor friction
losses). A pipe of diameter D = 12 mm is initially tested for this operation.
There is a 3 m elevation difference between the tank and the boiler (the boiler
is lower). The density and viscosity of water are 1000 kg m-³ and
8.90*10-4 Pa s respectively.
(i) Calculate the following parameters that describe the flow through the
pipe:
• the velocity V of the water through the pipe;
• the Reynolds number, Re, for the water flow through the pipe
• the friction factor, f.
