Question 5
Water exits from a large vessel through a smooth pipe, with a length L = 7 m and an
internal diameter D = 5 cm, as shown in Figure Q5. The loss coefficient at the pipe inlet
is KL,1 = 0.8 and at the outlet is KL,2 = 1. The flowrate out of the pipe is 10 L/s.
The density and viscosity of water are p = 1000kg/m³ and μ = 1 mPa.s.
a) Find the Reynolds number in the pipe
b) Find the friction factor in the pipe, fp. If you use the Moody diagram, include this in
