11.23 Chemical, civil, and mechanical engineers must often determine the power required to pump a fluid through a series of pipes. To do so, we must first determine a friction factor. If the fluid flow is turbulent and the pipes are smooth, the friction factor can be determined as 1.1513/vf = In (ReVf12.51) In this equation f represents the friction factor, a positive value that does not exceed 0.1, and Re represents the Reynolds number, which is a function of the fluid properties, the pipe diameter, and the nominal fluid velocity. The Reynolds number increases with increasing fluid velocity. The flow be- comes turbulent at higher velocities, when the Reynolds number exceeds approximately 3000. Hence the above equation is valid only when Re exceeds 3000. Determine the values of the friction factor corresponding to Reynolds numbers of 5000, 12,000, and 20,000. Does the friction factor increase or in decrease as the Reynolds number increases?

(Q1) A small reservoir based plant is planned in a remote location to supply water into a micro turbine to generate electricity. The height of water level in reservoir is 10 m. The micro turbine is to be located at ground level at a distance of 200 m from the reservoir. To generate sufficient power, the minimum head (total head) required at the turbine inlet is 9 m with the flow rate of 0.4 m3/s. The loss coefficient (KL) at the inlet to the pipe from reservoir is calculated as 0.4. Determine the minimum diameter of the cast iron pipe (roughness, e = 0.26 mm) required for the proposed design.
