An arrangement of three pipes in series between tank A and B is shown.

Calculate equivalent pipe diameter and the corresponding flow. Assume DarcyWeisbachs friction factor f = 0.02 and neglect entry and exit (minor) losses.

For a given parallel pipe arrangement in Fig. 2.19, calculate equivalent pipe diameter and corresponding flow. Assume DarcyWeisbachs friction factor f =0.02 and neglect entry and exit (minor) losses. Length of equivalent pipe can beassumed as 500 m.

A pumping system with different pipe fittings is shown. Calculate residual pressure head at the end of the pipe outlet if the pump is generating an input head of 50 m at 0.1 m3/s discharge. The CI pipe diameter D is 0.3 m. The contraction size at point 3 is 0.15 m; pipe size between points 6 and 7 is 0.15 m; and confusor outlet size d = 0.15 m. The rotary valve at point 5 is fully open. Consider the following pipe lengths between points: Points 1 and 2=100 m, points 2 and 3= 0.5 m; and points 3 and 4 =0.5 m Points 4 and 6 =400 m, points 6 and 7 =20 m; and points 7 and 8 =100 m
