38 lps of water flows through 90 m of a 6 inches nominal diameter, schedule 40, cast iron pipe. The pipe contains two 90 degree-standard elbows, two full-open gate valves, a full-open angle valve, and a backflow limiter (check valve). The discharge is located 6 m higher than the entrance. Consider the water viscosity of 0.01002 Poise. a) Determine thetotal head loss in the pipe line. b) What is the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipe? Use the Moody’s equation for the friction factor.

Question

38 lps of water flows through 90 m of a 6 inches nominal diameter, schedule
40, cast iron pipe. The pipe contains two 90 degree-standard elbows, two full-open gate valves,
a full-open angle valve, and a backflow limiter (check valve). The discharge is located 6 m
higher than the entrance. Consider the water viscosity of 0.01002 Poise.

a) Determine thetotal head loss in the pipe line.

b) What is the pressure difference between the two ends of
the pipe? Use the Moody’s equation for the friction factor.
