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 discharge rate from the end of the pipe? You may assume that the pipe remains full of water and that the average friction factor is not altered by making the new tapping. (ans.: 115.1 kN/m2)

A 30 m long pipe with an outside diameter of 75 mm is used to deliver steam at a rate of 2000 kg / hour. The vapor pressure is 198.53 kPa entering the pipe with a quality of 98%. The pipe needs to be given insulation with thermal conductivity of 0.2 W / (m K) so that the vapor quality only slightly decreases to 95%. The outer surface temperature of the insulation is assumed to be 25 ° C. Ignore...

) 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...

Water at 35°C is pumped through a horizontal, 200-m-long, 30-mm-diameter tube at 0.25 kg/s. Over time, a 2-mm-thick layer of scale of surface roughness e = 200 µ m is deposited on the interior tube wall. Determine the pressure drop from the entrance to the exit of the tube and the required pump power for the clean and fouled conditions.

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...
