Water must flow over a distance of 2 800 m from a large catchment dam to a turbine. The water level in the catchment dam is 1 620 m above sea level and the turbine is situated 1 275 m above sea level. The efficiency of transmission is 65% and 300 kW must be transmitted from the pipeline to the turbine. If f 0.007, determine the number of 200 mm diameter pipelines, which must be laid in parallel, needed to transmit the required power.

Heavy machine tool lubricating oil (ref. Appendix C applied fluid mechanics) is pumped through six rectangular slots in a heat exchanger (oil flows in the white rectangles in section view a-a) as shown below. You may assume that the oil flows through the heat exchanger with a constant temperature of 40°C. If the flow rate from A to B is 3 cm³/sec determine the Reynolds number for the oil flow. Is the flow laminar or turbulent?

Question 1 A pipeline of length 2000 m and diameter 200 mm connects two water supply reservoirs together. (a) If the value of the frictional factor, f, for the pipeline is 0.02 then determine the flow in the pipeline when the head difference between the two reservoirs is 20 m. (b) If an increase in demand requires that the flow be increased by 40% then determine what length of the same diameter pipe is required to satisfy this demand if it is connected as shown in Figure 1. Assume that the friction factor for the new pipe is the same as the existing one. New pipeline 20 m
