A pipe is often used to assess the
flow rate of water in the center of a
pipe with an internal diameter of
102.3 mm at 20°C (density =
998.3 kg/m3, viscosity = 1.005
CP). The pitot tube coefficient is
0.98, and the manometer reading
is 10 mm of mercury at 20°C
(density = 13,545. 85 kg/m3).
Compute the velocity at the
center and the water's volumetric
flow rate
Compute the head loss (in meters) in 2000 m of horizontal, steel pipe with nominal pipe size of
300 mm and SCH 30. The pipe is carrying water with an average velocity of 1.88 m/s. Take water
