0.5 in 10-72. The copper pipe system, which transports water at 70°F, consists of two branches. The pipe for branch ABC has a diameter of 0.5 in. and length of 8 ft, whereas the pipe for branch ADC has a diameter of 1 in. and length of 30 ft. If a pump provides an inlet flow at A of 67.3 gal/min, determine the flow in gal/min through each branch. Take e-80(10-6) ft. The system is in the horizontal plane. Include...

CHE 3315 FLUID MECHANICS PROBLEM SHEET 10: PIPE NETWORKS AND FLOW MEASUREMENT 1. Water flows into the 2-inch-diameter galvonized iron pipe shown below at 0.3 ft3/s. If the pipe branches into two 1-inch diameter pipes ABD and ACD, which are 4 ft and 6 ft long repectively. (a) determine the flow rate through each pipe in m3/s, neglecting minor losses, (b) determine the pressure drop across each branch....
Problem 1 (60 points; pipes in parallel & EGL/HGL) A large-size pipeline carrying a water flow (Q) of 0.2 m/s branches into two relatively smaller pipelines (1 and 2). The two branches have the following characteristics: • Pipeline 1: length - 500 m; diameter -0.2 m; friction factor -0.01; two different bends. Pipeline 2: length - 800 m; diameter - 0.3 m; friction factor -0.02; two different bends. The plan view of these pipelines is shown in Figure 8.1. The...

Oil flows through an 8-inch diameter pipe with a velocity of 18 ft/s. If it discharges into the atmosphere through the nozzle, determine the total force the bolts must resist at the connection AB to hold the nozzle onto the pipe. Assume Yo = 55 lb/ft3.

Water flows from one large reservoir to another via a pipeline which is 0.9 m in diameter, 15km long, and for which f-0.04. The difference in height between the water surface levels in the two reservoirs is 50m. (a) Ignoring the minor losses in the pipeline, calculate the flow rate between the two reservoirs. (b) Assuming that the pipeline entrance and exit are sharp and that the minor losses are as in Table 1, calculate the discharge now. What is...
A 7-ft wide channel carrying water with a flow rate of Q =2 ft/s is metered by a V-notch weir with an included angle of 639 into a second unfinished concrete channel of 1/2 the width of the first, and a depth of 1/2 Y. If the vertex of the notch is 0.2 ft from the ground, please answer the following questiohs: A. What is the upstream velocity of the fluid (uniform approximation away from the weir)? B. What is...
7. Two capillary tubes are placed vertically in an open container of water. One tube has a diameter of 2.0 mm, and the other a diameter of 1.0 inch. In which tube will the water rise higher? 8. A sliding plate viscometer, as shown below, is used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. The plate area is 0.75 fr. A force of 1.5 x 10 lb moves the upper plate at a velocity of 10.0 ft/s. What is the...
L 2. Steady statemass balance: Water is flowing at steady state in a 0.1 meter-diameter pipe with a maximum velocity (turbulent profile) of 0.3 meters/sec. The pipe then goes through an expansion, to where it is then flowing in a 0.5 meter-diameter pipe, and the flow regime has changed from turbulent to laminar. In the second section of pipe, calculate the velocity as (a) block flow profile (Vavg), and (b) maximum velocity in laminar flow profile? HINT: you will need...
