ITERATIVE PIPE DIAMTER SOLUTION

PROBLEM:

HP 10
Ks (ft) 0.00085
Gamma (lb/ft3) 62.37

Kinematic visc (ft2/s) 0.0000122

Q (ft3/s) 1.5
Pump head, hp (ft) 58.79
hf (ft) 23.79
g (ft/s2) 32.2
L (ft) 800

ITERATION 1
Assume f = 0.023794

Diameter from assumed f = 0.538586635

Flow condition
Q (ft3/s) 1.5
A (ft2) 0.227825347
V (ft/s) 6.583990848
Re = VD/v 290659.7928
f of the assumed D 0.022886185 REVISE!

ITERATION 2
Assume f = 0.02289

Diameter from assumed f = 0.534430504

Flow condition
Q (ft3/s) 1.5
A (ft2) 0.224322778
V (ft/s) 6.68679308
Re = VD/v 292920.1801

f of the assumed D 0.0229205 REVISE!

ITERATION 3
Assume f = 0.02292

Diameter from assumed f = 0.534570518

Flow condition
Q (ft3/s) 1.5
A (ft2) 0.224440332
V (ft/s) 6.683290765
Re = VD/v 292843.4593

f of the assumed D 0.022919336 OK!!!

Therefore D = 0.534570518 ft
6.414846936 inches.
