PROBLEM 5 Consider a steel pipe of inside diameter of 10.02 in having in it an open globe valve (K = 4.8) and four screwed 90° elbows (K = 0.42 each). The length of the pipe is 100 ft, and 5 cfs of water flows through the pipe. Using f = 0.015, (a) what is the velocity of flow (ft/s)? (b) What is the total head loss (ft)? (c) What is the equivalent length (ft) of the pipe with inside diameter 13 in?
