Example 1:

Determine the head loss that will occur as 100 l/min of water flows from a
reservoir into a 1-in copper tube (Type K, inner diameter is 25.3 mm)
(a) through an inward projecting tube
(b) through a well-rounded inlet.























Example 2 - a series pipe line system:

Kerosene at 25C is flowing in the system shown below. The total length of 2-in
Type K copper tubing (i.d. 49.8 mm) is 30 m. The two 90 bends have a radius of 300mm.
Calculate the volume flowrate into tank B if a pressure of 150 kPa is maintained above
the kerosene in tank A.
