- An oil of specific gravity 0.9 and viscosity 0.06 poise is flowing through a pipe of diameter 200 mm at the rate of 60 litres/s. Find the head lost due to friction for a 500 m length of pipe. Find the power required to maintain this flow.arrow_forwardEstimate the power needed to overcome the aerodynamic drag of a person who runs at a rate of 100 yds (300 ft) in 10 seconds into a 29.3 ft/s head-wind. Express your answer in terms of horsepower. Assume CDA = 9 ft2 for the runner. NOTE: ρAIR = 2.38x10-3 slugs/ft3, 1 horse power = 550 lb∙ft/sec.arrow_forwardThe power output of a water turbine is given by P = ρgQhwhereP = powerρ = density of water (kg/m3)g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s2)Q = water flow rate (m3/s)h = the available water head (m)What is the appropriate unit for P?arrow_forward
