In a pipe 300 mm in diameter, water flows over a length of 300 m, connecting point A, at topographic elevation of 100.0 m, in which the internal pressure is 291 kPa, to point B, at topographic elevation 74 .0 m, where the internal pressure is 334 kPa. Determine the direction of flow. Data: Specific gravity of water = 10 kN/m3.

In a pipe 300 mm in diameter, water flows over a length of 300 m, connecting point A, at topographic elevation of 100.0 m, in which the internal pressure is 291 kPa, to point B, at topographic elevation 74 .0 m, where the internal pressure is 334 kPa. Determine the direction of flow. Data: Specific gravity of water = 10 kN/m3.

A) from B to A

B) There is no drain. 0

C). from A to B

 

For the previous question, calculate the pressure drop between A and B, in meters. (                     )

 

If the flow is equal to 0.18 m3/s, calculate the friction factor of the pipe. (                            )

 

For this same flow rate, calculate the friction velocity. (                              )
