[2]Determine the power of the pump required to overcome the head losses

through a pipe has 1 km length and 30 cm diameter to derive water flow of 0.3
m3/s. The pipe has four elbows, one filter, and one valve.
Kelbow = 0.7, kfilter = 7, kvalve = 5, ε = 0.1 mm, νwater= 10-6 m2/s.

Take: the efficiency of the pump equal 70%.

determine the head loss i a pipe of a diameter D=0.3m and surface roughness
ɛ=0.06 mm. the pipe length is 4 km .

gasoline a-t 27 ͦC has a kinematic viscosity of 4.2(10)-7 m2/s and S.G= 0.68. the
pipe line contains 5 standard elbows 90 ͦ each K=0.75 and discharges 70.85
L/s.
