Question
The cast iron pipe shown in Figure Q2 carries water at a rate of 200 liters per minute
from the main pipe A. The point A is at an elevation of 6 m from the datum and the
reservoir is on elevation of 30 m from the datum.
The pipe is 5 cm in diameter and 75 m long.
There are two 90° bends (each having a loss factor of K=0.9) and an open globe valve
with a loss factor of K=10. The pipe has sharp edged entry (K=0.5) and exit (K=1).
Determine:
a) The velocity of fluid flow in the pipe in m/s
(5marke)
b) The friction factor
c) The pressure losses including minor losses
d) The gauge pressure in pipe A
