In a large student house in Sheffield, cold water is supplied by the mains water supply at a pressure of 2 bar, gauge, and at a temperature 10°C. A wash basin cold tap is located 3 meters above the mains supply, connected to the mains pipe with a copper pipe of internal diameter 15 mm and length 12 meters. When the tap is opened the flow rate of water out of the tap is 24 litres per minute, creating a Fanning friction factor in the pipe of 0.008. a) Calculate the Reynolds number of the water in the pipe and determine if it is laminar or turbulent.

A liquid (SG = 0.8 and μ = 5 CP = 0.00336 lbm/ft s) from a solvent recovery plant is being pumped from a vessel into a reactor. The flow rate to the rector is 100 GPM (0.2228 ft³/s,) and the line, schedule 40-carbon steel (a = 0.0018 in). The pressure in the vessel is 15 psig and the reactor is pressurized to 65 psig. The flow into the reactor is 25 ft below the level in the vessel as shown in the drawing. The centrifugal pump is located 5 ft below the level in the vessel. The piping consists of the following: Suction line 10 ft of 2.5" Pipe Gate valves 90 degree elbows Check valves 2" sch 40 pipe 2.5" Sch 40 pipe Gate valve Check Valve 90° elbows 2 2 1 ID = 2.067" ID=2.47" K = 8 ft K= 100 fr K = 30 ff Discharge line 325 ft of 2" 2 5 none Acs=0.0233 ft² Acs = 0.0332 ft² a. Determine the velocity in the 2.5" and 2" lines (ft /s). b. Determine the losses due to friction in both the suction and discharge lines (ft lbi/lbm). c. Estimate the amount of total dynamic head required of the pump…

The system consists of: 1. Stainless steel pipes with a diameter of 5 cm and a total length of 200 meters. 2. Four control valves distributed throughout the system. 3. Two centrifugal pumps in series, each with an efficiency of 80%. Over the past few weeks, a pressure of 20 bar has been recorded at the inlet of the first pump, but only 15 bar at the outlet of the second pump. Furthermore, the flow rate has decreased from 10 m³/h to 7 m³/h. It has been noted that one of the control valves is showing signs of wear and may not be functioning properly. Calculates the pressure loss in the system, taking into account the length of the pipes, the material, the valves and the pumps.

2-) 10500 kg/hr of water is heated using a counter-flow, double-pipe heat exchanger utilizing superheated steam. Steam passes through the heat exchanger at 130 °C after entering at 180 °C. Water has an entrance temperature of 30 °C and an outlet temperature of 80 °C. Calculate the heat transfer area if the overall heat transfer coefficient from steam to water is 814 W/m² K. How much more area would there be if the fluid flow was parallel?

Example 12.23. Two reservoirs with a difference in elevation of 15 m are connected by the three pipes in series. The pipes are 300 m long of diameter 30 cm, 150 m long of 20 cm diameter, and 200 m long of 25 cm diameter respectively. The friction factors (f) in the relation fLV² hf D x 2g for the three pipes are, respectively, 0.018, 0-020 and 0.019, and which account for friction and all losses. Further the contractions and expansions are sudden. Determine the flow rate in l/s. The loss co-efficient for sudden contraction from dia. 30 cm to 20 cm = 0.24.
