A water with viscosity 11.4x10-3 poise is flowing through a pipe of diameter 300 mm at the rate of 500 litres per sec. Find the Reynold's Number & the head lost due to friction in the pipe of length 1 km. (Enter only the values by referring the unit given. Also upload the hand written answers in the link provided) The velocity of flow of water (in m/s) is The value of Reynold's Number is The frictional loss in the pipe (in m) isarrow_forwardPlease don't provide handwritten solution...arrow_forward
- 2. Castor oil flows through a pipe that has a cross-section of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 10 cm. The volume flow rate of the oil was measured to be 1.2 liters/second. The absolute viscosity of castor oil is about 650 cP. Calculate the Reynolds number and identify the type of flow.arrow_forwardEx. 2.11 A pump delivering 230 Ips of water whose absolute viscosity is 0.0114 Poise has a 300-mm diameter suction pipe and a 254-mm diameter discharge pipe as shown in the figure below. The suction pipe is 3.5 m long and the discharge pipe is 23 m long. The water is delivered 16 m above the intake water level. Considering the head losses in fittings and valves, find the head which the pump must supply. If the motor brake power of the driving motor is 75 kW, what is the efficiency of the pump? Assume the pipe material as cast iron. Given: A figure showing a pumping installation Q= 230 Ips D = 300 mm D = 254 mm H = 0.0114 Poise = 0.00114 Pa-s BP = 75 kW %3D %3D Standard elbow Standard elbow Discharge reservoir Long sweep elbow z=z, +2, Pump Source Foot valve & strainer Required: a) The total dynamic head b) The pump efficiency wilz,arrow_forwardShow complete solution and formulas used. Show the schematic diagram too. Calculate the required pipe diameter to avoid cavitation, if the pump delivers Q = 30US gallon/min water from a closed tank, where the pressure (above the water level) is p = 40kPa. The equivalent length of the smoothened concrete pipe on the suction side is 12m while the suction flange of the pump is 8m below the water level. The vapour pressure at the given water temperature is 2.8kPa. The required net positive suction head is NPSHr = 3.2m.arrow_forward
- A liquid of viscosity 5.2x10-5 Ibf-sec/ft? is flowing in a rectangular duct. The equation of the symmetrical velocity (in ft/s) is approximately V=0.3y0./ ft/s where y is in inches. Compute the shear stress of the fluid at y=3 inches from the wall.arrow_forwardNeed Solution through 15minarrow_forwardAn oil with a specific gravity of 0.84 and a viscosity of 50 cp is flowing downwards in a vertical pipe of inside diameter 3 in. If the water-oil manometer connected to a pitot tube, shows a reading of 25 in, calculate the maximum velocity of the flow of oil in the pipe. Reynolds number of the flow of oil in the pipe. average velocity of the flow of oil in the pipe. piezometric head due to the pitot tube. volumetric flow rate of oil.arrow_forward
