There are three pipes located at an oil refinery in Trinidad that carries process water. You are charged with analysing the flow for plant adjustment purposes. Pipe 1: water at 70°C flowing through a pipe of 150mm diameter at a volume flow rate of 0.006m³/s Pipe 2: water at 40°C flowing through a pipe of 150mm diameter at a volume flow rate of 0.00036m³/s ● ● i. ii. iii. Pipe 3: water at 20°C flowing through a pipe of 150mm diameter at a volume flow rate of 0.00029m³/s Use Reynolds number to define laminar and turbulent flow. Define the critical zone Determine the Reynolds number for the flow in each of the pipes as described above and use it to define the type of flow occurring indicating to the operators the significance of each number.

he night-time chilled water system is not a closed loop system, meaning that some amount of water is lost due to evaporation every night. If it is 96% efficient (i.e. 4% of the water flow rate is dispersed to the outdoor air and needs to be replaced), how much make up water does it need to draw from the municipal water supply daily (in gallons)? Round to nearest integer. (Given: Qheat loss = 1,500,000 Btu) Total gallons in water tank: 1500 gallons//system runs: 10 hours
