20.28. 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 me

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.

Crude oil of specific gravity (0.75) is flowing through a pipe. The pipe has a diameter of 100 mm and 50 mm at the sections 1 and 2 respectively. The velocity of crude oil at the section 1 is 550 cm/s. The section 1 is 3000 mm and section 2 is 2000 mm above the datum. If the pressure at the section 1 is 0.2 N/mm2, find the intensity of pressure at section 2?

Consider a pipe (diameter of 50 mm) with air flowing through it. The inlet conditions are: Mach 3; total pressure = 1000 kPa and 550 K. The friction coefficient (f) is 0.004. The exit Mach number decreases with the length of the pipe. Assume adiabatic, steady flow. Write a short Matlab code and plot the following, while the exit Mach number changes from 2.5 to 0.99 with increments of ?M=0.01. Find the length of the pipe that is going to...
