horizontal and circular pipe. The dynamic density and the viscosity of the fluid are 1252 kg/m³ and
0.3073 kg/(m.s). The velocity profile at a cross-section is given by:
u(r)= 6[1 − ( 7 )²]

Where r is the axial distance from the centre and R is the radius of the pipe.
Determine the following:

the volume flow rate, Q
(iv)

pressure loss, AP
(viii)
pumping power required,
(ix)
for the same pumping power, the percentage decrease of the flow rate if the pipe is
inclined 10° upward (assume the head loss, hò, calculated in part (vi) does not change)

From a section, the pipe divides into two horizontal parallel pipes of diameter (d, and d₂) (where d₁ = 4d₂) that run, for a distance of L each and then again join back to a pipe of the original size. For both the parallel pipes, assume the head loss due to friction only and the Darcy-weisbach friction factor to be same. The velocity ratio between bigger and smaller branched pipe is.arrow_forward
