Question 3
Water (p = 1000 kg/m³, μ = 1.12 x 10-3 Ns/ m²) flows through a 0.01-m-diameter pipe at a velocity
of 2 m/s. The length of the pipe is 40 m. A pump is used to maintain the flow from one reservoir to
another reservoir as shown.
The following data are available: KL elbow = 1.5, Kentrance = 0.5, Kexit = 1.0.

Note that the entrance and exit are at the same elevation. The free surfaces of the reservoirs are
also at the same elevation.
(a) Calculate the total head losses in the pipe.
(a)
The head loss in 60 meter of 15 cm diameter pipe is known to be 8 meter when oil
(s=0.90) of viscosity 0.04 N.s/m? flows at 0.06 m³/s. Determine the centerline velocity, the
shear stress at the wall of the pipe and the velocity at 5 cm from the centerline.
