The measured loss of head in a 50 mm diameter pipe conveying water at 0.6 ms¹ is 800 mm of water per 100 m length. Calculate the loss of head in mm of water per 400 m length when air flows through a 200 mm diameter pipe at the corresponding speed. Assume that the pipes have geometrically similar roughness and assume the densities of air and water as 1.23 kg/m³ and 1000 kg/m³ respecitvely and the absolute viscosities as 1.8 x 10-5 Pa.s and 0.12 Pa.s respectively.

Consider oil flowing through a horizontal pipe at a rate of 3 liter/s. There are two sections of the pipe with diameters 10 cm and 7 cm and the two sections are connected by a smooth reducing section as shown in the schematic. We use a manometer with glycerin as the manometer fluid (with glycerin density of Pglycerin 1,260 kg/m³) to measure the pressure difference between the two pipe sections. Assume that frictional effects are negligible and consider specific gravity of oil as SGoil = 0.76.

A fluid with a constant density of 961 kg/m3 and a constant viscosity of 1.419x10-3 Kg/m-s is flowing over a flat plate at a stream free velocity of 0.87 m/s. If the plate has a length of 2 m, answer the following: 1. What is Reynolds number at a point that is (1/4)L down the entrance? 2.Is the flow laminar or turbulent? 3.Calculate the thickness of the boundary layer in mm at (1/4)L down the entrance.
Question 7 Which of the following is true about Friction Factor? Choose all that apply. Friction factor tends to be higher for turbulent flows. Friction factor old steel pipe > Friction factor new steel pipe (given the same diameter and fluid). Friction factor is used to determine minor losses. Friction factor for laminar flows is (64 / Re).
The diagram below shows a pumping system to pump water to an elevated tank. The next page shows the performance curve of a specific type of centrifugal pump. The loss factors at the inlet and outlet are 0.5 and 1.5 respectively while the loss factor associated with the bend is 1.5. The diameter of the pipe is 0.050 m while the total pipe length is 400 m. In order to simplify the calculation you can assume that the friction factor is f= 0.036. Determine the duty point of this pumping system and thus determine the flow rate of the pump for an impeller diameter of 140 mm? Also determine the shaft power of the pump and give an estimate of the pumps efficiency at the duty point. Given that the pump is located 1.80 m above the water surface (1), and the pipe length from inlet to pump is 6.0 m, determine the NPSHA at the pump and state whether cavitation is likely to occur.

Solve and Draw the figure completely labelled with all the notations used in your solution.A fire pump delivers water through a 150 mm main to a hydrant to which is connected a 75 mm hose, terminating in a 25 mm nozzle. The nozzle is 3 m above the hydrant and 18 m above the pump. Assuming a total frictional loss of 18.5 m from the pump to the base of the nozzle, and a loss in the nozzle of 10 per cent of the velocity head in the jet, and neglecting air resistance, what gage pressure at the pump is necessary to throw a stream 30 m vertically above the nozzle?
