) A 50 mm-diameter propeller was installed in a 150 mm-diameter water pipe and the propeller speed was measured for a range of water discharge in the pipe. The water had a density and dynamic viscosity of 1000 kg/m³ and 0.00112 Ns/m² respectively. The measured results were as follows:

Q (litres/s):	12	28	45	63	95	120	160	180
N (rps):	5	10	15	20	30	40	60	80

Plot the dependence of propeller coefficient against propeller Reynolds number. A geometrically similar propeller with diameter 100 mm was installed in a 300 mm-diameter pipe conveying oil with density 800 kg/m³ and dynamic viscosity 0.007 Ns/m² . Estimate the discharge in the oil pipe for measured propeller speeds of 40 rps and 90 rps.

Consider a pipe (diameter of 50 mm) with air flowing through it. The inlet conditions are: Mach 3; total pressure = 1000 kPa and 550 K. The friction coefficient (f) is 0.004. The exit Mach number decreases with the length of the pipe. Assume adiabatic, steady flow. Write a short Matlab code and plot the following, while the exit Mach number changes from 2.5 to 0.99 with increments of ?M=0.01. Find the length of the pipe that is going to...

A pipe, 900 m long and 200 mm in diameter discharges water to the atmosphere at a point 10 m below the inlet level. With an inlet pressure of 40 kPa gauge, the flow rate is 40 litres/sec. At a point half way between the pipe inlet and outlet, a new tapping is made from which water is taken at a rate of 18 litres/sec. To what value must the inlet pressure be raised in order to maintain the same...

Two water reservoirs are joined by a sharp ended flexible pipe 100 mm in diameter and 36 m long. The ends of the pipe differ in level by 4 m. The surface level of the upper reservoir is 1.8 m above the pipe inlet whilst that of the lower reservoir is 1.2 m above the pipe outlet. At a position 7.5 m horizontally from the upper reservoir, the pipe is required to pass over a barrier. Assuming that the pipe...

1200 cm3/sec of water at 420 K is pumped in a 40 mm internal diameter pipe through a length of 150 m in a horizontal direction and up through a vertical length of 10 m . In the pipe there is a control valve which may be taken as equivalent to 200 pipe diameters and other pipe fittings equivalent to 60 pipe diameter. Also in the line there is a heat exchanger across which there is a loss in head...

In a galvanised steel water supply line 100 m long and 50 mm in diameter, water is pumped from a reservoir to a vented storage tank at an elevation 8 m above it. The following fittings are use: 1 hinged foot valve with strainer, 3 x 90? elbows, 2 gate calves (open), 20 screwed sockets, 1 sudden exit. The water viscosity is 1 x 10-6 m2/s and the density is 1000 kg/m3. (a) Calculate the friction factor at a flow...
