Question

Water (at 20C) flows through a pipeline connected in series, as shown in the Figure. The construction material of the pipes is commercial steel. Diameters of the first
and second pipe are 1¼ inch nominal (42.4/3.25 mm) and ¾ inch nominal
(26.9/2.65 mm), respectively. No elevation difference exits in the system. If the pressures
at point A and at point B are 12.63 mWH absolute and 10.33 mWH absolute,
respectively, what is the volumetric flow rate in the pipeline? Neglect the contraction
losses in the connection of two pipes.
Note: Friction factor must be found from MOODY DIAGRAM. For simplification in the
reading of Moody diagram, take relative roughness of each pipe as: E/D1=0.001 and
E/D2=0.002
