Determine the velocity of flow and the friction loss as

The velocity of flow
The value of friction loss
Answer to Problem 19.1PP
The velocity of flow, V=570ft/min
The value of friction loss, HL=0.021 in H2O
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Diameter of the duct, D=18in
Rate of flow, Q=1000 cfm
Length of the duct, L=75 ft
To find out the friction loss, we use the formula
Where,
L= Length of the duct
HL=Friction loss
hL=friction loss of water per 100 ft
friction loss of water per 100 ft is calculated by the chart of friction loss in a duct and it is equal to hL=0.028 in H2O
We compare between any two given values and their intersecting point give the third required value
The velocity of flow is also calculated by the chart of friction loss in a duct and it is equal to
The V=570ft/min
Calculation:
Now we put the known values in equation
HL= 0.021 in H2O
