An oil is being pumped inside a pipe at rate of 5.2m/s-00. The oil density is 905 kg/m3 and the viscosity is 3.4x 10- 2 Pa' s . which pipe diameter should be used to maintain laminar flow le re <_ 2100
The effect of rounding of a pipe exit on the loss coefficient is (a) negligible, (b) somewhat significant, or (c) very significant.
To conserve water and energy, a flow reducer is installed on the neck of a shower. If the pressure point at (1) remains constant and all losses are negligible (except that of the flow reducer), determine the value of the flow reducer's loss coefficient if it reduces the flow rate by a factor of 2. Despise gravity.
