• A pipe of diameter 2 cm rises through a
vertical distance of 5m over the total pipe
length of 2 000 m. Water of mean
temperature 15ºC flows up the tube to exit at
atmospheric pressure of 100 kPa. If the
required flowrate is 1.6 litres per minute, find
the resistance of the pipe, the work done
against friction and the head of water that
must be applied at the pipe entrance.

A vertical shaft is 400 m deep, 5 m diameter and has wall
roughenings of height 5 mm. An airflow of 150 m3/s passes at a
mean density of 1.2 kg/m3. Taking the viscosity of the air to be
17.9 x 10-6 Ns/m2 and ignoring changes in kinetic energy,
determine:
(i) the coefficient of friction, f
(ii) the turbulent resistance, Rt (m-4)
(iii) the frictional pressure drop p (Pa)
(iv) the work done against friction, F12 (J/kg)
(v) the barometric pressure at the shaft bottom if the shaft top
pressure is 100 kPa.
