A brine solution with a density of 1230 kg/m3 moves through a constricted pipe in steady, ideal flow. At the lower point shown in the figure below, the pressure is P1 = 2.00 ✕ 104 Pa, and the pipe diameter is 7.00 cm. At another point y = 0.40 m higher, the pressure is P2 = 1.25 ✕ 104 Pa and the pipe diameter is 3.50 cm. (a) Find the speed of flow (in m/s) in the lower section. (b)...

Brine (specific gravity 1.20) is flowing through a standard 80-mm pipe at a maximum rate of 0.9 m3/min. In order to measure the rate of flow, a sharp-edged orifice, connected to a simple U-manometer is to be installed. The maximum reading of the manometer is to be 400 mm Hg. What size orifice should be installed? Repeat, assuming a venturi meter is used instead of an orifice.

Water flows through a cast iron pipe with a diameter of 30 mm. The pipe is inclined at an angle of 3 degrees from horizontal and is 40 m long. The water flows due to gravity only. What is the maximum volume flow rate of the water? You may ignore any minor loses.

An incompressible liquid flows through a straight horizontal pipe. Friction of the fluid within the pipe...

An incompressible liquid flows through a straight horizontal pipe. Friction of the fluid within the pipe causes a small amount of heat to be transferred from the fluid; to compensate, flow work must be done on the fluid to move it through the system (so W(dot)fl is greater than zero. a) How are V(dot)in and V(dot)out related, where V(dot) is the volumetric flow rate of the liquid? (Remember, fluid is incompressible) b) How must the pressures of Pin and Pout...

Using the flow rate of 250 gpm, select a plastic pipe diameter (2”, 4”, 6”, 8”, 10”…) & determine the approximate pump head based on the following: Minor pipe losses include 6-90 degree bends (standard) and one plug valve straightway. Document your source for your K-values. Document which calculation method you used to calculate the total pump head. To save energy, choose the largest pipe diameter that provides the recommended 2.0 fps velocity of flow. Assume nominal pipe diameters as...

Water flows at 112°C through a steel pipe (k=90 W/m °C) which has a 6 cm inside diameter and 8cm outside diameter. Such that, hi =346 W/m2 °C and ho =6.0 W/m2 °C. Surrounding air temperature is 20°C. To reduce heat loss to the surroundings the pipe is covered with an insulation insulation having the thickness of 4.0 mm and k=0,5W/m°C . Calculate; a. The heat loss by convection per unit length from the bare pipe (before insulation). b....

Air flows through a pipe that has a length of 45 m with an inside diameter of 0.025 m. The Mach number of the flow exiting the pipe is 0.26, with a static pressure of 1 atmosphere and a temperature of 300 K. If the friction factor is assumed constant at 0.007, calculate the Mach number, static pressure, static temperature and total pressure at the entrance.
