In a delivery line for carbontetrachloride at the constant flow rate of 4 X 10^(-5) m3/s, the first 1000 mm long section is of 20 mm inside diameter smooth pipe followed by another 1000 mm long section of 50 mm inside diameter smooth pipe as shown in the following figure. Estimate the pressure drop over the entire length of delivery line. Neglect the minor losses due to sudden enlargement of pipe diameter.
Data: For carbon tetrachloride, Viscosity = 10^(-3) Pa.sec and
density = 1500 kg/m3 For laminar flow, consider fanning friction
factor, f = 16/Re
For transitional-turbulent flow, f = 0.079Re^(-0.25)
