Chapter 8, Problem 12EP
Shown here is a cool picture of water being released at 300,000 gallons per second in the spring of 2008. This was part of a revitalization effort for the ecosystem of the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. Estimate the Reynolds number of the pipe flow. Is it laminar or turbulent? (Hint For a length scale, approximate the height of the man in the blue shirt directly above time pipe to be 6 ft.)

You are asked to calculate the pressure drop in a
straight pipe. Air of density 1.225 kg/m³ is flowing
through the pipe. The diameter of the pipe is 25
mm. The velocity of the flow is 1 m/s. The viscosity
of air is given as 1.85 x 10-5 Pas.
From this information the Reynolds number was
calculated to be 1655.
Determine the Head drop if the pipe is 100 m in
length.
