A horizontal pipeline conveying oil (s = 0.8) contains a 60◦bend in which the internal diameter reduces from 200 mm to 100 mm. If the pipe joints on either side of the bend exert no restraint on it, what will be the force an anchorage must resist when the pressure head and the mean velocity of the ﬂuid at entry to the bend are 12 m and 3 m/s respectively? Find also the direction in which the force acts.

In a vertical pipe conveying oil of sp. gr. 0.8, two pressure gages have been installed at A & B where the diameters are 16 cm and 8 cm respectively. A is 2 m above B. The pressure readings have shown that the pressure at A is 9810 N/ m2 greater than the pressure at B. Neglecting all losses, calculate the flow rate (Q).

An oil company wishes to construct a pressurised pipeline of 300 mm diameter to convey freshwater, of bulk modulus 2.10x109 N/m2 from a desalination plant to a refinery at a rate of 350 l/s and with a pipe period of 4 seconds. Calculate the corresponding theoretical surge pressure induced within the pipeline by the complete closure of an on-line valve (located at the end of the pipe) in 8 seconds. The valve generates non-uniform retardation of type R = At0.65....

A long, straight horizontal pipeline of diameter 350 mm and effective roughness size 0.03 mm is to be constructed to convey crude oil of density 860 kg/m3 and absolute viscosity 0.0064 N s∕m2 from the oilfield to a port at a steady rate of 7000 m3/day. Booster pumps, each providing a total head of 20 m with an overall efficiency of 60%, are to be installed at regular intervals. Determine the required spacing of the pumps and the power consumption...

Water flows in a horizontal pipeline at a steady flow rate of 0.03 m3 s-1. The pipeline terminates with a reducing bend that deflects the water upwards at an angle of 45 degrees, as shown in Figure QB2. The water issues into the atmosphere. The area of the pipe is 150 x 10-4 m2 and the area at the exit to the bend is 25 x 10-4 m2. The gauge pressure at the inlet to the bend is 73.9 kN...
