Consider flow front a reservoir through a horizontal pipe of length L and diameter D that penetrates into the side wall at a vertical distance H from the free surface. The flow rate through an actual pipe with a reentrant section (KL = 0.8) is considerably less than the flow rate through the hole calculated assuming frictionless” flow and thus zero loss. Obtain a relation for the “equivalent diameter” of the reentrant pipe for use in relations for frictionless flow through a hole and determine its value for a pipe friction factor, length. and diameter of 0.018, 10 m, and 004 au. respectively. Assume the friction factor of the pipe to remain constant and the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor lo be negligible.

- Two tanks A and B are connected by a pipe 30 m long. The first 21 m has a diameter of 75 mm and then is suddenly reduced to 50 mm for the next 9 m. The difference of levels between the tank water levels is 2.40 m. Pipe coefficient f=0.005 and the contraction coefficient at sudden change in area is 0.58. Find all the losses, in terms of velocity v2 at exit from the 50 mm2pipe and hence find rate of flow.

All outlets are connected to a single main line pipe running down the service stack shaft. After factoring all friction losses and the gravitational head, the system is pressurised such that the ideal flow rate per outlet is 14 l/min. What is the ideal main pipe diameter size if the fluid velocity in the main line pipe and the outlet branches is to be kept the same and (i) A diversity factor (i.e. the number of outlets open to atmosphere over total number of outlets installed) of 0.5 is assumed (half of the taps open at any point in time) A diversity factor (i.e. the number of outlets open to atmosphere over total number of outlets installed) of 0.75 is assumed (ii) (ii) A diversity factor (i.e. the number of outlets open to atmosphere over total number of outlets installed) of 1.0 is assumed (All taps open at any point in time)arrow_forwardA hose pipe of 75 mm bore and length 450 m is supplied with water at 1.4 MPa. A nozzle at the outlet end of the pipe is 3 m above the level of the inlet end.

The centre of the exit of the pipe is h=1.4m below the water surface. We can assume that the flow entrance to the pipe is smooth so that there are no minor losses. The flow in the pipe is laminar, the friction factor can be assumed constant and can be found from fp = 64/Rep where the Reynolds number is based on the pipe diameter and mean flow speed in the pipe.
