Question

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 4. A 20-ft section of horizontal 6-inch-diameter pipe is being investigated in the lab. A
head loss of 0.435 ft was measured when the flow was 475 gpm of water. If the kinematic viscosity
is 1.2 × 10-5 ft2/s, estimate the equivalent sand grain roughness, ks.

- A cast-iron pipe was installed 50 years ago with a measured friction factor, f, of 0.02and surface roughness height, e, of 0.2mm. The horizontal pipe is 1500m long and has a diameter of35cm. Since installation, significant tuberculation has developed on the inside walls of the pipe. A recentpipe test was conducted. The pressure drop across the entire length of pipe was measured to be 200kPa.The design discharge through the pipe has not changed over the years (Q=0.1m 3 /s, T=20°C).
