Chapter 6, Problem 30P
Water flows in a pipeline. At a point in the line where the diameter is 7 in., the velocity is 12 fps and the pressure is 50 psi. At a point 40 ft away the diameter reduces to 3 in. Calculate the pressure here when the pipe is (a) horizontal, (b) vertical with flow downward, and (c) vertical with the flow upward. Explain why there is a difference in the pressure for the different situations.

2. Oil (sg=0.90) is flowing at 150 L/min through a turbine. The pressure before the
turbine is 750 kPa and after the turbine 150 kPa with an elevation between these two
points of 2.3 m [ fluid entrance is on the high side ]. If the friction loss in the system is
5.10 N.m/N find (a) the power delivered to the turbine by the fluid and (b) If the
mechanical efficiency of the turbine is 80 % find the power output from the turbine.
