Question 23 Glycerine at 30 °C is flowing between two large reservoirs. These reservoirs have differences in the level of 10 m and connected through a plastic pipe. This pipe is 75 m long and goes up to a height of 3 m above the upper reservoir for a distance of 25 m where its diameter is 50 cm from the "sharp-edged' entrance. The average velocity of glycerine along this distance is 62.79 m/s. After 5 m declining from the highest point of the pipe, its diameter is suddenly expanded to 100 cm before enters the "rounded' exit of the lower reservoir. a) Sketch a diagram for the problem above and list the location where losses occurred in that system, b) Calculate the "major losses' that occurred in the system, c) Calculate the "minor losses' and total head loss that occurred in the system, d) Pressure (P) at the highest point of the pipe.
