Problem#5 Water and air flow upwards in a conical-shaped vertical pipe. The pipe diameter increases from 1-cm ID at the bottom of the pipe to 10-cm ID at the top. The height of the pipe is 20 m. The water-flow rate is q, 2 x 10-4 m³ /s, and the air-flow rate is q6 = 5 × 10¬* m³ /s. The densities of the water and air are 1000 and %D 1.2 kg/m respectively. Using the Homogeneous No-Slip Model, determine the local frictional, gravitational, and accelerational pressure-gradient components and the local total pressure gradient at (assume a constant friction factor, f = 0.005 and constant liquid and gas densities): a. The entrance (bottom) of the pipe. b. The exit (top) of the pipe. c. Explain how you would calculate the pressure drop in the entire pipe.
