Example 3.7: A commercial steel piping system is delivering water at 30°C from pressurized tank A to pressurised tank B as shown in figure below. The internal diameter of the pipe is 2.25 cm. The piping system has a well rounded inlet, 1/4 open gate valve, four 90° flanged bend, two 90° miter bend (with vane) and a sharp exit. The total pipe length is 300 m. Gauge pressure at tank A is 500 bar. If the elevation difference, h is 100 m and water is delivered at 250litre/min. Determined minor losses and gauge pressure at tank B

You are assigned the design of a cylindrical, pressurized water tank for a future colony on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.71 m/s2. The pressure at the surface of the water will be 110 kPa , and the depth of the water will be 13.7 m . The pressure of the air outside the tank, which is elevated above the ground, will be 85.0 kPa . Find the net downward force on the tank's flat bottom, of...

Octane is to be pumped in a piping system that is routed from storage tanks to the main pump by a number of smaller pumps. One such arrangement is shown below. This pump must supply 0.4 m3 /s of octane to the main pump. All fittings are flanged; the pipe is wrought iron, schedule 80, 2 nominal, with L=65 m. The absolute pressure at section 2 is 282.5 kPa. Determine the power required to be transferred to the liquid. Assuming...
