In this problem our goal is to compare pressure drop for the flow of an incompressible fluid in a straight pipe to the pressure drop of a compressible fluid in the same pipe and under the same conditions. For the incompressible case, consider the flow of water at a rate of 5000 lbm/s in the pipe. Then compare the results with the flow of air. The pipe is smooth and has a diameter of 1 in and length of 20 ft. For both cases, fluid enters the pipe at 14.7 psia and 100 F and leaves the pipe at the same temperature.

26. In this problem our goal is to compare pressure drop for the flow of an in-
compressible fluid in a straight pipe to the pressure drop of a compressible fluid in
the same pipe and under the same conditions. For the incompressible case, con-
sider the flow of water at a rate of 5000 lbm/s in the pipe. Then compare the re-
sults with the flow of air. The pipe is smooth and has a diameter of 1 in and
length of 20 ft. For both cases, fluid enters the pipe at 14.7 psia and 100 F and
leaves the pipe at the same temperature.
