Problem 1 Along a 50-m pipeline, there is a half-open globe valve (K = 10), four 90-degree smooth bends (K = 0.45), and six 45-degree elbows (K = 0.15). Ignoring the major head loss, what will be the pressure drop in this pipe if the flow velocity is 1 m/s? Fluid is water: Specific weight = 9810 N/m³. Assume a = 1.0 throughout.

Problem 1
Along a 50-m pipeline, there is a half-open globe valve (K = 10), four 90-degree smooth bends (K = 0.45),
and six 45-degree elbows (K = 0.15). Ignoring the major head loss, what will be the pressure drop in this
pipe if the flow velocity is 1 m/s? Fluid is water: Specific weight = 9810 N/m³. Assume a = 1.0 throughout.
