Question

If the two pipes in Fig. are instead laid in series
with the same total pressure drop of 3 lbf/in², what will the
flow rate be? The fluid is SAE 10 oil at 20°C.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given data:

The pressure drop is, ∆P = 3 lbf/in².

Calculate the flow rate as follows:

$Δ P = \frac{128 μ Q}{π} [\frac{L_{1}}{D_{1}^{4}} + \frac{L_{2}}{D_{2}^{4}}]$

Here, Q is the flow rate, μ is the dynamic viscosity, L₁ is the length of tube 1, L₂ is the length of tube 2, D₁ is the diameter of tube 1, and D₂ is the diameter of tube 2.

Refer the table “properties of sae 10” to obtain the viscosity.

μ = 0.00217 slug/ftˑs
