Two reservoirs have a difference in height of 10 meters at the free surface. They are connected by two pipes in series; the first tube is 20 m long and has a diameter of 6 cm. The second tube is 10 meters long with a diameter of 10 cm. At the change in tubes, an expander (θ = 20°) is fitted, there are two 90° bends (flanged) in the second section of piping Assuming f = 0.0216 for both tubes, what is the flow rate?

A physician wants to test two blood glucose meters to see if there is any difference in measurements. To do this, he measures the glucose in blood samples taken from several randomly selected patients with both meters. Suppose that data were collected for a random sample of 10 patients, where each difference is calculated by subtracting the blood glucose rating from Meter A from the blood glucose reading from Meter B. Assume that the measurements are normally distributed. What is/are...

Water flows between two reservoirs through 800 ft of 12-inch diameter welded-steel pipe. The water surface elevation difference between the two reservoirs is 16 ft. Find the flowrate (a) assuming head loss is only due to pipe friction, and (b) Accounting for both friction losses and minor losses due to a flush square-edged pipe entrance, the pipe exit, and a half-open gate valve in the line. Assume the water temperature is 60°F.
