The flow carried by pipe below discharges into the open atmosphere. If the pipe length is 300 m, diameter is 150 mm and roughness of 0.0025 mm, write the equation(s) required to determine the maximum discharge.
To find-:
The equation required to determine the maximum discharge.
Given:
The length of the pipe is .
The diameter of the pipe is .
The roughness of the pipe is .
The elevation difference is .
Formulas used-:
The expression for relative roughness is-:
(1)
The bernoulli's equation between free stream in the tank and exit of pipe is-:
(2)
The expression for maximum discharge is-:
(3)
Here , is the area of the pipe.
Here, is the kinematic viscosity.
Calculations-:
Substitute the value of and in equation (1).
Substitute the value of , in equation (2).
Thus, the value of velocity at exit is .
Substitute the value of , and in equation (3).
Thus, the value of maximum discharge is .
