Fully developed, laminar flow of a viscous fluid ( = 2.17 Ns/m2) flows between horizontal parallel plates 1-m long that are spaced 3.0-mm apart. The pressure drop is 1.25 kPa. Determine the volumetric flow rate (per unit width) through the channel (in m3/s m).
Approach:
Pressure drop can be calculated for this non-circular duct with the combination of Eq. 9-31 and Eq. 9-32 and using the hydraulic diameter. The velocity is unknown; once it is determined the volume flow rate can be calculated. We need to evaluate the friction factor. We combine all the expressions and solve for velocity.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady.
Solution:
A HW or per unit width V W = V . Pressure drop can be calculated using the H Volume flow rate is V = V x = V hydraulic diameter: P L V2 = hL = f g Dh 2 g
For fully develop laminar flow between infinite parallel plates, f = 96 Re = 96 V h . Substituting this into D the pressure drop equation, simplifying, solving for the average velocity V: 2 2 Dh P V = 96 L The hydraulic diameter with W , Dh = 4 Ax pwetted = 4 HW 2 ( H + W ) = 2 H = 2 ( 0.003m ) =0.006m

Journal bearings are constructed with concentric cylinders with a very small gap between the two cylinders; the gap is filled with oil. Because of the very small gap, the flow in the gap is laminar. Consider a sealed journal bearing with inner and outer diameters of 50- and 51-mm, respectively, and a length of 75 mm. The shaft (inner cylinder) rotates at 3000 RPM. At start-up the torque needed to turn the shaft is 0.25 N-m. Determine the viscosity of the oil (in Ns/m2). After an hour of operation will the torque have increased or decreased? Explain.
Approach:
Because the gap is small compared to the diameter, we can analyze the flow as if it were between infinite parallel plates. Viscosity is defined with Newtons law of viscosity, Eq. 9-2.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed between infinite parallel plates. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
Shear stress at a solid wall, using Newtons law of viscosity, is: dV = dy Because we can analyze this flow as between infinite parallel plates, we know that with the inner shaft rotating and the outer shaft stationary, the velocity profile is linear, so the velocity gradient is; ( r2 r1 ) V = = r2 r1 V Velocity is V = r1 . Torque is = Fr1 = Ar1 . Substituting these expressions into the shear stress equation and solving for visocity: ( r2 r1 ) ( r2 r1 ) ( r2 r1 ) = = = 2 2 Ar1 ( 2 r1 L ) r1 2 Lr13

Answer
Comments:
After an hour of operation, torque will decrease. Assuming that the bearing has little heat loss, the viscous friction will raise the oil temperature. Because viscosity for a liquid decreases with increasing temperature, torque will decrease with time.

Consider laminar water flow at 20 C between two very large horizontal plates. The lower plate is stationary and the upper plate moves to the right at a velocity of 0.25 m/s. For a plate spacing of 2 mm, determine the pressure gradient and its direction required to produce zero net flow at a cross section.
Approach:
Because the plates are very large, we assume the flow is fully developed between infinite parallel plates. For this flow, we can perform an analysis similar to what was done in Section 9.3 for flow in a circular tube to find the relationship between flow and pressure gradient.
Assumptions:
1. 2. 3. The system is steady. The flow is fully developed between infinite parallel plates. Properties are constant.
Solution:
For steady, fully developed flow, conservation of momentum in the x-direction reduces to: Fx = 0 Evaluating the forces on the differential element shown above: P A1 P2 A2 + T AT B AB = 0 1
With length, dx, along the channel and a width W: P (Wdx ) P2 (Wdy ) + T (Wdx ) B (Wdx ) = 0 1 The width cancels. Shear stress at a solid wall, using Newtons law of viscosity, is: Therefore,

In the -in. pipe shown below, oil flows downward at 6 gal/min. The oil has a specific gravity of 0.87 and a dynamic viscosity of 0.4 lbm/fts. The specific gravity of the manometer fluid is 2.9. Determine the manometer defection, h (in ft).

Data are read from and written to spinning computer disks (3600 rpm) by small read-write heads that float above the disk on a thin (0.5m) film of air. Consider a 10-mm by 10-mm head located 55 mm from the disk centerline. For air at 25 C, and assuming the flow is similar to that between infinite parallel plates, determine: a. the Reynolds number based on the gap dimension b. the power required to overcome the viscous shear (in W).
Approach:
Reynolds number can be obtained from its definition. Power is torque times rotational speed, and torque is forces times distance. The force is caused by the shear stress, which can be determined with Newtons law of viscosity, Eq. 9-2.

Skimmers are used to remove viscous fluids, such as oil, from the surface of water. As shown on the diagram below, a continuous belt moves upward at velocity Vo through the fluid and the more viscous liquid (with density and viscosity ) adheres to the belt. A film with thickness h forms on the belt. Gravity tends to drain the liquid, but the upward belt velocity is such that net liquid is transported upward. Assume the flow is fully developed, laminar, with zero pressure gradient, and zero shear stress at the outer film surface where air contacts it. Determine an expression for the velocity profile and flow rate. Use a differential analysis similar to that used for fully developed laminar flow through an inclined pipe. Clearly state the velocity boundary conditions at the belt surface and at the free surface.
Approach:
The amount of oil that is picked up by the moving belt is a result of a force balance between gravity, which causes the oil to flow downward, and shear stress, which causes the oil to flow upward. We apply a force balance in the x-direction to obtain the velocity profile, and then we integrate it to find volume flow rate.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed between infinite parallel plates. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
A force balance in the x-direction on the differential element shown above, assuming fully developed laminar flow with constant properties, is: Fx = 0 = T AT B AB dW where the weight is W = Vg . Note there is no net pressure force. Atmospheric pressure acts all along the surface of the oil, and the infinitesimal difference in hydrostatic pressure is negligible.

Consider a fully developed laminar flow of 20 C water down an inclined plane that is 20 to the horizontal. The water thickness is 1-mm. The water is exposed to atmosphere everywhere, and the air exerts zero shear on the water. Using a differential analysis similar to that used for fully developed laminar flow through an inclined pipe, determine the volume flow rate per unit width (in m3/s m).

A biomedical device start-up company is developing a liquid drug injection device. The device uses compressed air to drive the plunger in a piston-cylinder assembly that will push the drug (viscosity and density similar to water at 10 C) through the hypodermic needle (inside diameter 0.25 mm and length 50 mm). If the flow must remain laminar in the hypodermic needle, determine: a. the maximum flow possible (in cm3/s) b. the required air pressure for the maximum flow if the pressure at the end of the needle must be 105 kPa (in kPa). (Assume fully developed flow.)
Approach:
Using a transition Reynolds number of 2100 and the Reynolds number definition, we can calculate the maximum allowable velocity and, hence, flow rate. We can use Eq. 9-13, which relates pressure drop and velocity, to calculate the required air pressure.

The viscosity of liquids is measured with a capillary viscometer, in which a laminar flow is maintained in a small diameter tube, and the pressure drop and flow rate are measured. If the flow is fully developed, then Eq. 9-13 can be used to calculate the liquid viscosity. However, entrance effects often are present. Consider the flow of a liquid (SG = 0.92) through a tube 450-mm long and 0.75-mm in diameter. A flow of 1 cm3/s is obtained when the pressure drop is 65 kPa. Determine: a. the viscosity if the flow is fully developed (in Ns/m2) b. the viscosity if the pressure drop in the entrance length is twice that for the same length of fully developed flow (in Ns/m2).
Approach:
With the given information, Eq. 9-13 is used to calculate the viscosity. If entrance effects are present, a correction to the effective length of the tube must be made, and that corrected length used in Eq. 9-13. Laminar entrance length can be estimated with Eq. 9-39.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is laminar. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
V = V x = V D2 4 A a) Volume flow rate is defined as: Pressure drop for laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid in a circular tube is obtained from Eq. 9-13: P = 8 L V R 2 = 32 L V D 2

A machine tool manufacturer is considering using gravity flow to supply cutting oil (SG = 0.87, = 0.003 Ns/m2) to the tool and workpiece. The vertical 5-mm diameter tube connecting the oil reservoir to the workpiece is very long so the flow can be assumed fully developed; in addition, the depth of oil in the reservoir is negligible compared to the tube length. The pressure is atmospheric at the exit of the tube and at the surface of the reservoir. Determine the volumetric flow rate of the oil (in cm3/s).
Approach:
Flow is caused by a balance between gravity, pressure, and shear stress/viscosity forces. Equation 9-13 was developed for this situation, so we will apply it directly. Because that equation uses the average velocity, volume flow rate is obtained easily from its definition.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed and laminar. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
A Volume flow rate is defined as: V = V x = V D 2 4 Pressure drop for fully developed laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid in a circular tube is obtained from Eq. 9-13: 8 L V 32 L V P = + gL sin = + gL sin 2 R D2 For the present problem = 90o . With atmospheric pressure at the surface of the reservoir and at the exit of the tube, P = 0 . Using this information and solving for velocity: g sin D 2 V = 32 Note that in the development of Eq. 9-13, the x-direction was in opposition to the gravity force, so the negative sign indicates a downward flow.

A manometer, with pressure taps 25 ft apart, is used to measure the pressure drop of oil (SG = 0.82) flowing in a 1.5-in. pipe with a volumetric flow rate of 4 ft2/min. The manometer fluid is mercury (SG = 13.6). From the lower pressure tap to the surface of the mercury highest in the manometer is 2 ft, and the distance from the upper pressure tap to the same height in the mercury is 4 ft. For a manometer deflection of 4 in., determine: a. the flow direction b. the friction factor c. whether the flow is laminar or turbulent d. the oil viscosity (in lbm/ft s).
Approach:
Flow direction can be determined by inspection, and the friction factor can be calculated using the steady, incompressible flow energy equation. Whether the flow is laminar or turbulent must be determined by assuming one or the other, using a correlation for the friction factor, calculating the viscosity, and then checking the Reynolds number. The manometer equation is used to calculate the pressure drop.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
a) Hydrostatic pressure increases farther down in a fluid. The manometer indicates that P2 < P .

We can use the steady flow energy equation to find the head loss in the inclined pipe. The frictional head loss is the same in a horizontal pipe, so we can again use the steady flow energy equation, but this time we will determine the new inlet pressure.
Assumptions:
1. 2. 3. 4. The system is steady. The flow is fully developed. Properties are constant. Neglect minor losses.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g The areas at 1 and 2 are equal, so V1 = V2 . There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 , and minor losses are neglected. Therefore, for when the outlet is 15 m above the inlet

The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g The duct is constant area and horizontal, so V1 = V2 and z1 = z2 There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 , and there are no minor losses: P P2 L V2 L V2 1 = f P P2 = f 1 D 2g D 2g g The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness.

A manufacturer develops a new type of flow control valve. Before it can be advertised and sold, its loss coefficient must be determined. The valve is installed in a 6-in. pipe and 2 ft3/s of water flows through it. The pressure drop is measured with a manometer whose fluid has a specific gravity of 1.3. The manometer deflection is 7.5 in. Determine the loss coefficient for the valve.
Approach:
We can use the definition of head loss for minor losses to calculate the loss coefficient. The pressure drop (head loss) can be determined from the manometer equation.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The head loss due to minor losses is given by: V2 P P hL = 1 2 hL = K L and 2g g Combining the expressions and solving for the loss coefficient: 2 ( P P2 ) 1 KL = w V 2

When pumping a fluid, the pressure at the entrance to the pump must never drop below the saturation pressure of the fluid. If the pressure does drop below the saturation pressure, cavitation (the forming of vapor bubbles) occurs which can damage the pump impeller. Consider the system shown below constructed of commercial steel pipe and threaded connections. For water at 10 C, determine the maximum possible flow rate without cavitation occurring (in m3/s).
Approach:
Cavitation will occur if the pressure at point 2 falls below the saturation pressure of 10 C water. We can solve for the flow rate using the steady, incompressible flow energy equation. The pressure at 2 is the saturation pressure.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
atmospheric, so P1 = 101.3 kPa. At point 2, from the saturated water table at 10 C, Psat (10 o C ) = 1.23kPa . The losses include one entrance, two bends, and line loss:
There is no pump or turbine, so hT = hp = 0 . We assume the area at 1 large, so V1 0 , and the pressure at 1 is
2 L V = f + K ent + 2 K bend . Therefore, D 2g
2 P P2 L V 1 + ( z1 z2 ) = f + K ent + 2 K bend + 1 g D 2g The friction factor depends on flow, so an iterative solution is required. From Figure 9-15, for an zero area ratio at the entrance Kent = 0.5. From Table 9-3, for a regular 90 threaded bend, Kbend = 1.5. Velocity is: 4 (V m3 s ) 4V m V =226.4V = (1) V = = 2 2 s A D ( 0.075m )
For commercial steel pipe =0.045mm , and for water from Appendix A-6 at 10 C, = 12.9 104 Ns m 2 , = 999.6 kg m3 . The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. 3 V D ( 999.6 kg m )( 226.2V m s ) ( 0.075m ) Re = = = 1.316 106 V (2) 12.9 104 Ns m 2 The volume flow will be large enough so that the flow will be turbulent, so D 1.11 6.9 0.045 75 1.11 6.9 1 (3) = 1.8log + = 1.8log + Re Re f 3.7 3.7 Substituting known values into the pressure drop equation: (101.3-1.23) kN m 2 (1000 kg m kN s 2 ) V2 13 + ( -5m ) = f +0.5+2 (1.5 ) +1 0.075 2 ( 9.81m s 2 ) ( 999.6 kg m3 )( 9.81m s 2 )

When the water enters the pump, it accelerates more. Hence, the actual minimum pressure at 2 would need to be greater than 1.23 kPa. The pump manufacturer would specify the minimum required pressure. 9- 18

Fire codes mandate that the pressure drop in horizontal runs of commercial steel pipe must not exceed 1.0 lbf/in.2 per 150-ft of pipe for flows up to 500 gal/min. For a water temperature of 50 F, determine the minimum pipe diameter required (in in.). Is the number you calculated feasible?
Approach:
Pressure loss depends on velocity, which depends on pipe diameter. The friction factor is a function of velocity. Hence, an iterative solution is required. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is used to determine the minimum pipe diameter.
Assumptions:
1. 2. 3. 4. The system is steady. The flow is fully developed. Properties are constant. Neglect minor losses.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g The areas at 1 and 2 are equal, so V1 = V2 . The pipe is horizontal, so z1 = z2 . There is no pump or turbine, so

The owners of a luxurious mountain resort want to install a fancy water fountain. The artists initial design uses 75-m of 7.5-cm diameter commercial steel pipe ending in a nozzle with a diameter of 3.75-cm with a 40-kW pump to pull water from a lake above the resort at a flow rate of 0.05 m3/s. To save operating costs, the owners want to remove the pump and rely only on gravity head to power the fountain. Assuming the friction factor is 0.016 for both cases and neglecting minor losses, determine: a. the flow rate if the pump is removed from the system (in m3/s) b. the height of the water jet with and without the pump if the nozzle is pointed vertically up (in m).
Approach:
The elevation difference between the lake surface and the nozzle exit is not given and must be determined. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation can be used to calculate the elevation difference and the height of the fountain.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant and evaluated at 10 C.
Solution:
a) The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no turbine, so hT = 0 . At points 1 and 2 the pressure is atmospheric and the area at 1 is very large, so V1 = 0 and P = P2 . We will assume no minor losses. Therefore, 1

The pump head can be evaluated from WP = mghP = VghP . For water from Appendix A-10 at 10 C,

hP =
Likewise, for the velocity in the pipe, Note that Vnozzle = 4 V pipe . Therefore,
z1 z2 = 81.6m +

2 ( 9.81m s 2 ) (127.4m ) V pipe = 16+ ( 0.016 )( 75 0.075 ) Therefore, the flow rate without the pump is: 2 g ( z1 z2 ) = 16 + f L D

At an oil tank farm, a vandal opens a valve at the end of a 5-cm diameter, 50-m long horizontal pipe from the bottom of a large diameter oil tank. The oil tank is open to the atmosphere, and the oil depth is 6.5 m. The oil has a SG = 0.85 and a kinematic viscosity of 6.810-4 m2/s. Neglecting minor losses, determine the initial flow rate from the tank (in m3/s).
Approach:
The flow rate depends on a balance between the head supplied by the oil depth and the head loss in the drain pipe. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation can be used to determine the flow. An iterative solution may be required because the friction factor is a function of the flow (velocity).
Assumptions:
1. 2. 3. 4. The system is steady. The flow is fully developed. Properties are constant. Neglect minor losses.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g The areas at 1 and 2 are large, so V1 = V2 0 . The pressures at 1 and 2 are both atmospheric, so P = P2 . There 1 is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 , and minor losses are neglected. Therefore,
L V2 D 2g The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. Assuming a smooth pipe: V D V D ( V m s )( 0.05m ) = = = 73.5 V Re = 6.810-4 m 2 s For any reasonable velocity, the flow will be laminar (check this). Therefore, for fully developed laminar flow in a straight circular tube: f = 64 Re = 64 V D Substituting this into the pressure drop equation and solving for velocity: 2 g ( z1 z2 ) D 2 64 L V 2 z1 z2 = V = 64 L D V D 2g z1 z2 = f

Answer
Checking the Reynolds number: ( 0.147m s )( 0.05m ) Re = = 10.8 6.810-4 m 2 s Laminar flow, so our assumption is correct.
Comments:
Note that the velocity calculated above is the initial velocity, assuming that the transient start-up of the flow is brief and the flow is quasi-steady. As the oil level drops, then the velocity will decrease.

In a large convention center, heated air at 85 F must be conveyed from the furnace room to the display rooms through a 500-ft smooth duct. The required flow rate is 7500 ft3/min. If the pressure loss must not exceed 2.5 in. of water, determine: a. the minimum diameter required (in in.) b. pumping power required (in hp).
Approach:
Pressure loss depends on velocity, which depends on pipe diameter. The friction factor is a function of velocity. Hence, an iterative solution is required. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is used to determine the minimum pipe diameter.
Assumptions:
1. 2. 3. 4. The system is steady. The flow is fully developed with constant properties. Neglect minor losses. Air is an ideal gas.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g The areas at 1 and 2 are equal, so V1 = V2 . The pipe is horizontal, so z1 = z2 . There is no pump or turbine, so

Consider a heat exchanger that has 1000 2.5-cm diameter smooth tubes in parallel, each 6-m long. The total water flow of 1 m3/s at 10 C flows through the tubes. Neglecting entrance and exit losses, determine: a. the pressure drop (in kPa) b. the pumping power required (in kW) c. the pumping power for the same flow rate if solid deposits from the water build up on the inner surface of the pipe with a thickness of 1-mm and an equivalent roughness of 0.4 mm.
Approach:
Because the tubes operate in parallel, all tubes have the same pressure drop, so we only need to calculate the pressure drop in one tube. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is used.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
a) The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no pump or turbine, so hT = hP = 0 . At points 1 and 2 the pipe areas are the same, so V1 = V2 .

The piping system that connects one reservoir to a second reservoir consists of 150-ft of 3-in. cast iron pipe that has four flanged elbows, a well-rounded entrance, and sharp-edged exit, and a fully open gate valve. For 75 gal/min of water at 50 F, determine the elevation difference between the two reservoirs (in ft).
Approach:
The flow rate is set by the balance between the head caused by the difference in reservoir elevations and the frictional losses in the pipe. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation applied between points 1 and 2 is used to determine the elevation difference.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no pump or turbine, so hT = hp = 0 . We assume the surface of the reservoirs are large, so V1 V2 0 , and the pressure at 1 and 2 are atmospheric, so P1 = P2. Therefore, taking into account all the minor losses: 2 L V z1 z2 = f + K ent + K valve + K exit + 4 K bend D 2g From Table 9-3, Figure 9-13 and Figure 9-14, Kent = 0.04, Kbend = 0.3, and Kvalve = 0.15. For cast iron pipe =0.00085ft , and for water from Appendix B-6 at 50 F, = 88 105 lbm ft s , = 62.4 lbm ft 3 . The velocity is determined from conservation of mass for incompressible flow: 4 ( 75gal ft 3 )( 0.1337ft 3 gal ) (1min 60s ) 4V ft V =3.40 = V = = 2 A D2 s ( 0.25ft ) The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. 3 V D ( 62.4 lbm ft ) ( 3.40 ft s )( 0.25ft ) Re = = = 60, 400 88 105 lbm ft s The flow is turbulent, so D 1.11 6.9 0.00085 0.25 1.11 1 6.9 = 1.8log + = 1.8log f = 0.0289 + 3.7 60, 400 Re f 3.7

Vandals open the drain valve on a water tower that is 10-m in diameter with a water depth of 8 m. The water flows out a sharp-edged opening into a horizontal 30-m long pipe, both of which are 10-cm in diameter; the gate valve in the pipe is half opened. Assume the friction factor is 0.016. Determine: a. the time required for the tank to drain (in min) b. the time required for the tank to drain if only the sharp-edged opening and the valve are present (in min) c. the appropriateness of the friction factor value used.
Approach:
Conservation of mass is needed to determine the time to drain the pool. The driving pressure head decreases with time, so the head as a function of time is needed. The open system conservation of mass equation and the steady, incompressible flow energy equation are used to calculate the time.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
a) The open system conservation of mass equation is for the control volume defined as the water in the pool: dm dt = min mout . Water only leaves, and expressing the mass in terms of volume and flow rate in terms of velocity: d ( V ) d ( A1 z ) = = A2 V2 dt dt Density cancels so rearranging the equation:
D A dz = 2 V2 = 2 V2 dt A1 D1 We can obtain an expression for velocity by assuming (at any instant in time) that the steady, incompressible flow energy equation is applicable with a constant friction factor: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
2
At points 1 and 2 the pressure is atmospheric, so P = P2 . There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 . Let 1 z2 = 0 (the datum) and drop the subscript on z1, the depth of water in the tank. The losses include an entrance, a valve, and line loss, so
V1 2 V2 LV2 + z = 2 + K ent + K valve + f 2 2g 2g D 2g The tank velocity can be described in terms of the pipe velocity by conservation of mass. Any mass flow rate from the tank must equal the mass flow rate through the pipe: m1 = m2
V1 A1 = V2 A2
V1 = ( D2 D1 ) V2

Substituting this into the energy equation and solving for velocity:

An oil transporter truck is filled from the top with 15 m3 of fuel oil (SG = 0.86, = 5.3 10-2 Ns/m2) from a reservoir that is 4 m below the truck top. A 10-m long flexible hose 6-cm in diameter whose surface roughness is equivalent to that of galvanized iron connects the truck to the reservoir. A one-third closed ball valve and two bends that are equivalent to 90 threaded elbows are in the hose. For a filling time of 15 min, and a pump mechanical efficiency of 75%, determine the required pump power (in kW).

To ensure adequate water supplies to a town, a municipal water department developed a second reservoir and wants to connect the new reservoir to the old one using a concrete pipe. The reservoirs are 1.5 miles apart with a difference in surface elevations of 25 ft. Determine the minimum pipe diameter needed to carry 10 ft3/s of water at 50 F?
Approach:
The head caused by the difference in reservoir elevations is balance by the frictional head loss, which depends on the velocity and diameter. Applying the steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 1 and 2, we can determine the pipe diameter with an iterative solution.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 . The areas of the reservoirs are large, and the pressure are atmospheric, so V1 = V2 = 0 and P = P2 . Taking into account line losses only: 1

The reservoir behind a dam is connected to a hydroelectric power plant with a penstock (a large pipe to convey the water). At a particular plant, the elevation difference between the reservoir surface and the hydroturbine is 50 m, and the penstock is constructed of 150-m of 1-m diameter cast iron pipe. The turbine has a mechanical efficiency of 78% and the electric generator has an efficiency of 94%. For a 1 m3/s flow of 10 C water, determine: a. the power output from the plant (in kW) b. the power output if a fully open gate valve and two long radius 45 flanged elbows also are in the pipe (in kW).
Approach:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is used to determine the turbine head. Once that is known, the power can be calculated.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.

a) The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g

The drain at the bottom of a swimming pool (10-m in diameter and 2-m deep) is well rounded and is connected to a 5-cm diameter, 20-m long plastic pipe. The water is at 20 C. For a friction factor of 0.021, determine: a. the time required to drain the pool (in min) b. if this value of friction factor is appropriate.
Approach:
Conservation of mass is needed to determine the time to drain the pool. The driving pressure head decreases with time, so the head as a function of time is needed. The open system conservation of mass equation and the steady, incompressible flow energy equation are used to calculate the time.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
a) The open system conservation of mass equation is for the control volume defined as the water in the pool: dm dt = min mout . Water only leaves, and expressing the mass in terms of volume and flow rate in terms of velocity: d ( V ) d ( A1 z ) = = A2 V2 dt dt Density cancels so rearranging the equation:
D A dz = 2 V2 = 2 V2 dt A1 D1 We can obtain an expression for velocity by assuming (at any instant in time) that the steady, incompressible flow energy equation is applicable with a constant friction factor: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
2
At points 1 and 2 the pressure is atmospheric, so P = P2 . There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 . Let 1 z2 = 0 (the datum) and drop the subscript on z1, the depth of water in the tank. The losses include an exit and line loss, so
V1 2 V2 LV2 + z = 2 + K ent + f 2 2g 2g D 2g The pool velocity can be described in terms of the pipe velocity by conservation of mass. Any mass flow rate from the pool must equal the mass flow rate through the pipe:
m1 = m2
V1 A1 = V2 A2

V1 = ( D2 D1 ) V2

A pipe connects two reservoirs at different elevations. The pipe is constructed of 12-in. diameter commercial steel with flanged fittings. The gate valve is one-fourth closed. The water temperature is 50 F. Determine the required elevation difference between the two reservoirs to produce a water flow rate of 10 ft3/s (in ft).
Approach:
The head caused by the difference in reservoir elevations is balance by the frictional head loss. Applying the steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 1 and 2, we can determine the required elevation difference.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 . The areas of the reservoirs are large, and the pressure are atmospheric, so V1 = V2 = 0 and P = P2 . Taking into account all losses: 1

A liquid (SG = 0.93, = 0.00068 Ns/m2) is contained in a vertical 2-cm diameter pipe. At one elevation the fluid pressure is 230 kPa; at an elevation 10-m higher, the pressure is 110 kPa. Determine: a. if the flow is moving and in what direction b. the flow velocity if it is flowing (in m/s).
Approach:
If the fluid is moving, there will be frictional losses. The sign on the frictional head loss will tell us the flow direction. The frictional head loss can be determined with the steady, incompressible flow energy equation.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
a) Assuming the flow is from point 1 to point 2, the steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + + hT + hL g 2g g 2g There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 , the pipe diameter is constant, V1 = V2 , and there are no minor losses: (110-230 ) kN m 2 (1000kg m kN s 2 ) P P2 1 + (10m ) =-3.15m + ( z1 z2 ) = hL = g ( 0.93) (1000 kg m3 )( 9.81m s 2 ) The frictional head loss is negative, the assumed flow direction is incorrect.

The designers of a large shopping mall install 18-in. diameter smooth concrete storm sewers to channel away runoff after heavy rainstorms. Each storm sewer will need to carry a flow of 10 ft3/s. The pressures at the entrance and exit of the sewer are atmospheric. If the sewers are 200 ft long before they join with larger pipes, determine the required elevation change per 100 ft of pipe (in ft).
Approach:
Because we can solve for elevation change directly, the steady, incompressible flow energy equation can be used to determine the required slope.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g Let locations 1 and 2 be just outside the pipe ends, and both are at atmospheric pressure, so P = P2 . The duct is 1 constant area, so V1 = V2 . There is no turbine or pump, so hT = hP = 0 . For the minor losses at the entrance and exit, assume the area ratios are zero, so from Figure 9-15, Kent = 0.5 and Kexit = 1.0. LV2 z1 z2 = K ent + K exit + f D 2g The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. For water from Appendix B-6 at 50 F, = 88 105 lbm fts , = 62.4 lbm ft 3 . Velocity is :

In mountainous regions, tunnels often are used for cars, trucks, and trains. If the tunnel is too long, ventilation air must be supplied to dilute and purge vehicle exhaust gases from the tunnel. Consider a 3-ft diameter, 2500-ft long duct constructed of commercial steel pipe that carries air at 45 F, 14.1 psia with a flow rate of 10,000 ft3/min. Determine: a. the pressure drop (in in. of water) b. the power required (in hp).
Approach:
The pressure drop is determined with the steady, incompressible flow energy equation. The pump power can be calculated with the same equation but applied just across the pump.

The pipe diameter and elevation are constant, so V1 = V2 and z1 = z2 . There is no pump or turbine, so

Water at 10 C flows from a lake at a flow rate of 0.1 m3/s. A 15-cm diameter, 100-m long galvanized iron pipe connects the lake to a building in which either a pump or a turbine is located. The elevation difference between the lake surface and the building is 10 m. Determine: a. if the device in the building is a pump or a turbine b. the power of the device (in W).
Approach:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation has terms for pump and turbine power. We will assume the device inside the building is a pump. Applying the energy equation, if the power calculated is positive, then our assumption is correct. If it is negative, then our assumption was wrong, and the device actually is a turbine.

We assume the device is a pump, so hT = 0 . At points 1 and 2 the areas are large and the pressure is atmospheric, so V1 = V2 = 0 and P = P2 . The losses are line, exit, and entrance losses. Therefore, 1

It is pumped from the water holding pond through a 4-in. diameter, 3000-ft steel pipe to the top of the mountain. The elevation difference is 950 ft. The gage pressure required at the nozzle at the end of the pipe is 150 lbf/in.2. Determine the required pumping power (in hp).

By applying the steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 1 and 2, we can determine the required pump power.

The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no turbine, so hT = 0 . At point 1 the area of the pond is large, and the gage pressure is atmospheric, so V1 = 0 and P = 0 . Ignoring entrance loss, the losses are line and exit. Therefore, 1

In the western United States, many crops are irrigated, and water must be pumped long distances. Consider a system that consists of a 1-m diameter, 2-km long steel pipe, which connects a river to an irrigation canal. The canals elevation is 50 m higher than that of the river. For water at 15 C, a pump with a mechanical efficiency of 80%, and neglecting minor losses, determine the power required to pump 2.5 m3/s of water (in kW).

Air at 105 kPa and 25 C flows from a 7.5-cm circular duct into a 22.5-cm circular duct. The downstream pressure is 6.5-mm of water higher than the upstream pressure. Determine: a. the average air velocity approaching the expansion (in m/s) b. the volumetric flow rate (in m3/s) c. the mass flow rate (in kg/s).
Approach:
Applying the steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 1 and 2, we can determine the flow rate through the expansion. The loss coefficient across the expansion must be evaluated.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.

a) The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no pump or turbine, so hT = hp = 0 . The pipe is horizontal, so z1 = z2 . The only loss is due to the sudden expansion. Solving for the pressure rise: V2 P2 P = ( V1 2 V22 ) K exp 1 1 2 2 From conservation of mass,

In some high rise buildings, water is stored in an elevated tank on the roof to minimize pressure fluctuations in the system. Consider water that is pumped through a 10-cm steel pipe to the roof of a 200-m tall building; the pump is on the ground floor. For a water temperature of 10 C and a flow of 0.02 m3/s, what is the pressure at the pump discharge (in kPa)?
Approach:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is used directly to calculate the pressure at point 1.
Assumptions:
1. 2. 3. 4. The system is steady. The flow is fully developed. Properties are constant. Neglect minor losses.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g The area at point 2 is large and the pressure is atmospheric, so V2 = 0 and P2 = 101.3kPa . There is no pump or turbine, so hT = hP = 0 , and all minor losses except the exit are neglected. Therefore,

A fluid flows by gravity down an 8-cm galvanized iron pipe. The pressures at the higher and lower locations are 120 kPa and 140 kPa, respectively. The horizontal distance between the two locations is 30 m, and the pipe has a slope of 1m rise per 10 m of run (horizontal distance). For a fluid with a kinematic viscosity of 10-6 m2/s and a density of 900 kg/m3, determine the flow rate (in m3/s).
Approach:
Flow is set by a balance among elevation difference, pressure difference, and line losses. Line losses depend on velocity, so this maybe an iterative solution depending on whether this is a laminar or a turbulent flow. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation can be used to determine the flow.

Fresh air is distributed in a factory through a 250-ft long rectangular galvanized duct, which is 36-in. by 6in. For a flow rate of 5000 ft3/min of 60 F air at 14.2 lbf/in.2, determine the fan pumping power required if the fan has a mechanical efficiency of 65% (in hp).
Approach:
The required fan head can be obtained directly from the steady, incompressible flow energy equation. Once we determine the required head, the fan power can be calculated.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no turbine, so hT = 0 . The duct has constant area and is horizontal V1 = V2 and z1 = z2 . Point 1 is just upstream of the fan and point 2 is outside of the duct, so both are at atmospheric pressure and P = P2 . Therefore, 1 with only an exit minor loss and line loss: 2 L V hP = f + K exit D 2g where K exit = 1 . Assuming air is an ideal gas:

Water at 20 C is to be siphoned from a large tank, as shown below. The siphon is a 2.5-cm diameter smooth tube and has a reentrant inlet. Determine: a. the volume flow rate if only the minor losses are taken into account (in m3/s) b. the volume flow rate if both the minor and line losses are taken into account (in m3/s).
Approach:
The flow can be determined by applying the steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 1 and 2. For part (b) an iterative solution is required.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no pump or turbine, so hT = hp = 0 . We assume the area at 1 large, so V1 0 , and the pressure at 1 and 2 are atmospheric, so P1 = P2. The losses, in general, include one entrance, one bend, and line loss: 2 L V hL = f D + K ent + Kbend 2 g Combining and solving for the velocity:
2 g ( z2 z1 ) V = 1 + K ent + K bend + f L D From Figure 9-13a, for a reentrant entrance Kent = 0.8. From Table 9-3, for a 180 bend, Kbend = 1.5. a) Ignoring line loss, f = 0

A pump draws 40 F water from a lake through 20 ft of commercial steel pipe; the line has a reentrant inlet and a 90 regular flanged elbow. The pump elevation is 12 ft above the lake surface. For a design flow rate of 100 gal/min, the head at the suction side of the pump must not be less than 20 ft of water. Determine the minimum pipe diameter (in in.).
Approach:
The pressure drop in the inlet piping must be calculated, and the pressure at point 2 expressed in terms of head. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation must be used. Because friction factor depends on velocity and, hence, diameter, an iterative solution is required.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no pump, so hp = 0 . We assume the area at 1 large, so V1 0 , and the pressure at 1 is atmospheric, so using gage pressure P1 = 0. Let z1 = 0 . The losses, in general, include one entrance, one bend, and line loss:
0=
2 P2 V2 L V + 2 + z2 + f + K ent + K bend 2 g 2g D 2g
Solving for P2 g :
2 P2 L V = h2 = z2 1 + f + K ent + K bend 2 g D 2g The velocity is determined from conservation of mass for incompressible flow: 4 (100gal min ) ( 0.1337ft 3 gal ) (1min 60s ) 0.284 ft V 4V V2 = = = = 2 A D2 D2 s ( Dft )
For commercial steel pipe =0.00015ft , and for water from Appendix B-6 at 40 F, = 104 105 lbm ft s , = 62.4 lbm ft 3 . From Figure 9-13a, for a reentrant entrance Kent = 0.8. From Table 9-3, for a 90 bend, Kbend = 0.3. The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. 3 2 V D ( 62.4 lbm ft )( 0.284 D ft s ) ( Dft ) 17, 000 = = Re = 104 105 lbm ft s D For any pipe with a diameter of less than about 8 ft, the flow will be turbulent, so D 1.11 6.9 1 = 1.8log + Re f 3.7 We know that h2 20ft .

Large farm implements and road construction equipment use hydraulically actuated cylinders to position scoops, cutting blades, and other tools. High-pressure pumps are used to circulate the hydraulic fluid ( = 880 kg/m3 and = 0.033 Ns/m2). Consider a hydraulic system that has a pump outlet pressure of 20 MPa and which requires a minimum pressure at the hydraulic cylinder of 18 MPa at a flow rate of 0.0005 m3/s. If the hydraulic fluid flows through 25 m of smooth, drawn steel tubing, determine the minimum tubing diameter required (in cm).
Approach:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation must be used. For line friction losses, friction factor is a function of velocity, which depends on pipe diameter. Depending on the flow, an iterative solution may be required.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no pump or turbine, so hp = hT = 0 . The pipe diameter and elevation are constant, so V1 = V2 and
z1 = z2 . Ignoring minor losses: P P2 L V2 1 = f g D 2g The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. However, because of the low flow rate and large viscosity, we can speculate that the flow might be laminar. Therefore, we will assume (initially) that the flow is fully developed laminar flow. For this situation, f = 64 Re
128 ( 0.033 Ns m 2 ) ( 25m ) ( 0.0005 m3 s ) = ( 2000 kN m 2 ) (1000N 1kN ) Checking Reynolds number V D m 4 V 4 V Re = V = = Re = 2 A D D Re =

( 0.033 N s m 2 ) ( 0.00957m )
4 ( 880 kg m3 )( 0.0005 3 s )
=1770
This is laminar, so our assumption was valid. The diameter would be the next standard diameter greater Answer than 9.57 mm.
Comments:
If the flow had been turbulent, we would have needed to solve the pressure drop equation for diameter, and then iterated to find a solution. We would have assumed a friction factor, calculated a diameter, calculated Reynolds number, and then checked the friction factor for convergence.

Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:

There is no pump or turbine, so hT = hp = 0 . The pipe is horizontal, so z1 = z2 . The only loss is due to the sudden expansion. Solving for the pressure rise: V2 P2 P = ( V1 2 V22 ) K exp 1 1 2 2 From conservation of mass, m1 = m2
V2 = V1 ( A1 A2 ) = V1 ( D1 D2 )

P V2 P2 V2 + 2 + z2 + hP = 3 + 3 + z3 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no pump or turbine, so hT = hp = 0 . The pipe is horizontal, so z1 = z2 = z3 . The pressure loss is due to line loss, plus one expansion and one contraction, so L V2 V2 V2 hL = f + K ent + K exit D 2g 2g 2g Assuming the room at 2 and the outside at 3 are large, V2 V3 0 . Solving the energy equation for P2 (note that P3 = P ): 1

The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. For smooth pipe =0 , and for air from Appendix A-7 at 100 kPa, 25 C, = 1.832 105 Ns m 2 , = 1.169 kg m3 .

In Problem P 9-49, the sharp-edged entrances and exits are replaced with well-rounded entrances and exits. For the same fan power as in the original installation, determine the new volumetric flow rate (in m3/min).
Approach:
We will use the information from the solution to Problem P 9-49. The main difference is that Kent and Kexit will change because of the well-rounded entrances and exits.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
We have two equations to combine: W = 2V P23 = 2 V ( P2 P3 ) A
2 L V P2 P3 = f + K ent + K exit 2 D The friction factor is a function of velocity, but the new flow probably will not cause a significant change in the friction factor. Therefore, we will assume it is approximately constant. Combining the two equations and solving for velocity:
4W V = 2 D ( fL D + K ent + K exit )

For well-rounded entrances and exits, from Figure 9-13d and Figure 9-14d, K ent 0.04 and K exit = 1.0 .

Frictional pressure loss in fluid flow is converted to unwanted thermal energy. Consider an 18 gal/min flow of 70 F water through a 1.25-in. diameter smooth tube. The tube is sloped so that the pressure remains constant throughout the tube. Determine: a) the slope (in ft/100 ft), b) the heat transfer per 100 ft of tube if the temperature remains constant (Btu/hr), and c) the temperature rise if the tube is perfectly insulated (in F).
Approach:
For constant pressure flow, the steady, incompressible flow energy equation is used. Frictional losses can be calculated because the flow is given. With constant temperature, Eq. 9-29 can be used to calculate the heat transfer; the same equation can be used to calculate temperature rise if the pipe is insulated.
Assumptions:
1. 2. 3. 4. The system is steady. The flow is fully developed. Properties are constant. Neglect minor losses.
Solution:
a) The slope (in ft/100 ft of pipe) requires that the elevation difference, z2 z1 , be determined. Using the steady, incompressible flow energy equation:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g L V2 D 2g
The areas at 1 and 2 are equal, so V1 = V2 . There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 , and minor losses are neglected. For constant pressure flow P = P2 . Therefore, 1 Velocity is : V =

A gas turbine power plant consists of a compressor, a combustor in which the fuel and air are mixed and combusted, and a turbine that drives an electrical generator. The air compression process takes from 40 to 80% of the turbine output power, leaving only 20-60% to drive the electric generator. Some gas turbine plants store compressed air in salt domes or caverns for use during times when additional electric power is needed; the compressed air to be supplied to the power plant is taken from the stored air instead of just using the air compressor. Consider the system shown in the figure below. The air reservoir, which fills with 10 C water when the air has been used, is connected to the outside by a 30-cm cast iron pipe. During charging of the reservoir with air, the air pressure, P, increases. Determine the gage pressure P required to produce a water flow rate of 0.15 m3/s (in kPa).
Approach:
The required pressure can be determined by applying the steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 1 and 2. The frictional losses must be calculated.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no pump or turbine, so hT = hp = 0 . We assume the surface of the reservoir is large, so V1 0 , and the pressure at 2 is atmospheric. Expressing P1 and P2 in terms of gage pressures, P2, gage = 0 Therefore:
V22 + g hL 2 The losses include line loss, one entrance, and two bends: 2 L V hL = f + K ent + K exit + 2 K bend D 2g The entrance has an area ratio of zero, so from Figure 9-15a, Kent = 0.5. Assuming the bends are regular, 90, flanged, from Table 9-3, Kbend = 0.3. The velocity is determined from conservation of mass for incompressible flow: 4 ( 0.15m3 s ) V 4V m V2 = = = =2.12 2 2 A D s ( 0.30m )
P gage = g ( z1 z2 ) + 1,
The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. For cast iron pipe =0.26mm , and for water from Appendix A-6 at 10 C, = 12.9 104 Ns m 2 , = 999.6 kg m3 .

Water at 20 C is pumped from a reservoir through a 20-cm commercial steel pipe for 5 km from the pump outlet to a reservoir whose surface is 150-m above the pump. The flow rate is 0.10 m3/s. Determine: a. the pressure at the pump outlet (in kPa) b. the pumping power required (in W).
Approach:
We can determine the pressure at 2 by using the steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 2 and 3. The pump power can be calculated with the same equation but applied between points 1 and 2.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
a) The steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 2 and 3 is: P V2 P2 V2 + 2 + z2 + hP = 3 + 3 + z3 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g The reservoir is large, so V3 0 . There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 . Expressing P2 and P3 in terms of gage pressure, so P3, g = 0 . The losses include line loss and exit loss ( K exit = 1 ). Solving for P2, g
V2 V2 L V22 L V22 P2, g = g ( z3 z2 ) 2 + K exit 2 + f = g ( z3 z 2 ) + f D 2g D 2 2g 2g The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. For water from Appendix A-6 at 20 C, = 9.85 104 Ns m 2 , = 998.2 kg m3 . For commercial steel pipe, = 0.045 mm, D = 0.045 200 = 0.000225 .

Two reservoirs are connected by three galvanized iron pipes in series. The first pipe is 600-m long, 20-cm diameter; the second pipe is 800-m long, 30-cm diameter; and the third pipe is 1200-m long, 40-cm in diameter. For a flow of 0.15 m3/s of water at 10 C, determine the elevation difference between the reservoirs (in m).
Approach:
The elevation difference drives the flow. That pressure head is consumed by the frictional losses in the line. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is used to calculate the elevation difference.
Assumptions:
1. 2. 3. 4. The system is steady. The flow is fully developed. Properties are constant. Neglect minor losses.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g At points 1 and 2 the areas are large and the pressure is atmospheric, so V1 = V2 = 0 and P = P2 . There is no 1 pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 , and minor losses are neglected. Therefore,
z1 z2 = f A L V2 LA VA2 L V2 + f B B B + fC C C DA 2 g DB 2 g DC 2 g
VC = VA ( DA DC ) = ( 4.77 m s )( 0.20 0.40 ) =1.19 m s The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. For galvanized iron pipe =0.15mm , and for water from Appendix A-6 at 10 C, = 12.9 104 Ns m 2 , = 999.6 kg m3 . The Reynolds numbers are:
ReA =
T the flow is turbulent, so 0.15 200 1.11 1 6.9 = 1.8log + 739, 000 fA 3.7
f A = 0.0188
Similarly, f B = 0.0176 and f C = 0.0170 . Therefore, 2 2 2 600 ( 4.77 m s ) 800 ( 2.12 m s ) 1200 (1.19 m s ) z1 z = ( 0.0188 ) + ( 0.0176 ) + ( 0.0176 ) 0.20 2 ( 9.81m s 2 ) 0.30 2 ( 9.81m s 2 ) 0.40 2 ( 9.81m s 2 )

Comments:
Note that pipe A losses dominate the total pressure loss. For a given elevation difference, if more flow were desired through this system, increasing the diameter of pipe A would be the first option to try.

In a water system, a reservoir is connected to a canal with an 8-in. cast iron pipe. The system has three regular 90 threaded elbows, a half closed gate valve, and the exit from the reservoir is sharp edged. With an elevation difference of 55 ft between the reservoir surface and the pipe outlet, 3 ft3/s of water at 50 F flows through the pipe. Determine the total length of straight pipe in the system (in ft).
Approach:
The length can be determined by applying the steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 1 and 2. The frictional losses must be calculated.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
There is no pump or turbine, so hT = hp = 0 . We assume the surface of the reservoir and canal are large, so
V1 V2 0 , and the pressure at 1 and 2 are atmospheric, so P1 = P2. Therefore, taking into account all the minor losses: 2 L V 0 = ( z2 z1 ) + f + K valve + K exit + 3K bend D 2g Solving for the length: D 2 g ( z2 z1 ) ( K valve + K exit + 3K bend ) L = 2 f V From Figure 9-15b, Kexit = 1.0. From Table 9-3, Kbend = 1.5 and Kvalve = 2.1. For cast iron pipe =0.00085ft , and for water from Appendix B-6 at 50 F, = 88 105 lbm ft s , = 62.4 lbm ft 3 . The velocity is determined from conservation of mass for incompressible flow: 4 ( 3ft 3 s ) V 4V ft V = = = =8.59 2 2 A D s ( 0.667ft )
The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. 3 V D ( 62.4 lbm ft ) ( 8.59 ft s )( 0.667ft ) = = 406,300 Re = 88 105 lbm ft s The flow is turbulent, so D 1.11 6.9 0.00085 0.667 1.11 1 6.9 = 1.8log + = 1.8log + Re 3.7 406,300 f 3.7

On your land high in the Rocky Mountains, you decide to produce your own electric power for your vacation home using a hydroturbine. The surface of the small lake from where you will get the 50 F water is 500 ft above where you will locate the turbine. You connect the lake and turbine with 1000 ft of 6-in. cast iron pipe. The turbine discharge is the same diameter as the inlet and is open to the atmosphere. Determine the maximum power that can be produced (in W).
Approach:
The elevation difference drives the flow. Pressure head is consumed by the frictional losses in the line. Turbine power can be calculated with the steady, incompressible flow energy equation.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady with constant properties. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Neglect minor losses.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is:
P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
At points 1 and 2 the areas are large and the pressure is atmospheric, so V1 = V2 = 0 and P = P2 . There is no 1 pump, ( hP = 0 ), and the losses are line and exit losses. Therefore,
L V2 V2 (1) hT = z1 z2 f + K exit 2g D 2g where K exit = 1 and WT = mghT . The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness, so to find the maximum possible power, an iterative solution is required.. For cast iron pipe =0.00085 ft , and for water from Appendix B-6 at 50 F, = 88 105 lbm ft s , = 62.4 lbm ft 3 .

WT = 84.6hT V W (5) The procedure to follow is to use the above five equations to calculate the maximum power: guess a volume flow rate, calculate velocity, Reynolds number, friction factor, turbine head, and turbine power.

Fire trucks have pumps to boost the pressure of the water supplied by a fire hydrant. Consider a fire truck that has a 250-ft long, 2-in. diameter smooth fire hose. Water must reach the nozzle at the hose exit at 100 lbf/in.2 (gage). Water from the hydrant reaches the pump inlet at 60 lbf/in.2 (gage). If the design pressure drop specification for the hose is 25 psi/100 ft of length, determine: a. the design flow rate (in gal/min) b. the nozzle exit velocity (in ft/s) c. the pump power required if the pump has a mechanical efficiency of 75% (in hp).
Approach:
Flow rate, nozzle exit velocity, and pump power are calculated with the steady, incompressible flow energy equation. However, the equation must be applied across three different segments of the system.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
a) To find the design flow rate, apply the steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 2 and 3: P V2 P2 V2 + 2 + z2 + hP = 3 + 3 + z3 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g The duct is constant area and horizontal, so V2 = V3 and z2 = z3 There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 , and there are no minor losses:
2 ( P2 P3 ) D V2 = fL From the design pressure drop specification: ( 25lbf in.2 ) ( 250ft ) =62.5lbf in.2 P2 P3 = 100ft The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness, so an iterative solution is required. For water from Appendix B-6 at 70 F, = 65.8 105 lbm fts , = 62.2 lbm ft 3 . P2 P3 L V22 = f D 2g g

Velocity is :

Water is pumped from a lake to a pond that is 50 m above the lake. A suction pipe runs from the lake to a pump, and a connecting pipe runs from the pump to the pond. The suction pipe is constructed of 10-cm diameter cast-iron pipe (assume no minor losses). The connecting pipe also is 10-cm diameter cast iron and has five long radius 90 threaded elbows. The pump can be located in one of three places: 1) level with the lake surface, and the suction pipe would be 6-m long and the connecting pipe would total 150-m long, 2) 10-m below the lake surface, and the suction pipe would be 11-m long and the connecting pipe would total 160-m long, and 3) 5-m above the lake surface, and the suction pipe would be 8-m long and the connecting pipe would total 145-m long. For a flow of 0.025 m3/s, determine which installation requires the smallest required pumping power (in W).
Approach:
The pumping power is calculated with the steady, incompressible flow energy equation applied between points 1 and 2. The preferred pump location can be determined by comparing losses for each system.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 1 and 2 is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g The lake and pond surface areas are large, so V1 V2 0 and P = P2 There is no turbine, so hT = 0 . 1 Therefore: hP = z2 z1 + hL All piping is the same diameter. Minor losses in all pump locations include an entrance loss, an exit loss, and 5 elbow losses. The only difference in these locations is the length of straight pipe. The location level at the lake and 5 m above the lake have total pipe lengths of 156 m; the location 10 m below the surface has a length of 163 m. So based solely on the pumping power, the preferred location is either level or above the lake. Pumping power is: 2 L V WP = mghp = mg z2 z1 + f + K ent + K exit + 5 K bend D 2g The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness.

Many universities have a central facility that produces chilled water for use in cooling all the buildings on campus. The water at 10 C is continuously circulated through a closed flow loop and used as needed. Consider a system that consists of 5 km of 30-cm commercial steel pipe with a flow rate of 0.15 m3/s. The pump has a mechanical efficiency of 75% and is driven by a motor that has an efficiency of 92%. Determine: a. the pressure drop (in kPa) b. the pumping power required (in kW) c. the annual cost if electricity costs $0.10/kWhr and the system runs 7,500 hr/yr.
Approach:
Pressure drop and pumping power both can be calculated with the steady, incompressible flow energy equation. The equation must be applied across different sections of the system.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
a) The steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 2 and 1 is: P2 V2 P V2 + 2 + z2 + hP = 1 + 1 + z1 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g The pipe diameter is constant, so V1 = V2 and horizontal z1 = z2 There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 . Ignoring minor losses, L V2 L V2 P2 P = g hL = g f = f 1 D 2 D 2g The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness.

The Alaskan oil pipeline is 48-in. in diameter, with a wall roughness of approximately 0.0005 ft. The design flow rate is 1.6 106 barrels per day (1 barrel = 42 gal). To limit the required pipe wall thickness, the maximum allowable oil pressure is 1200 psig. To keep dissolved gases in solution in the crude oil, the minimum oil pressure is 50 psig. The oil has = 58 lbm/ft3 and = 0.0113 lbm/fts. Determine: a. the maximum spacing between pumping stations (in km) b. the pumping power at each station if the pump mechanical efficiency is 85% (in kW).
Approach:
The maximum length and pumping power are calculated with the steady, incompressible flow energy equation. However, the equation must be applied across different segments of the system.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
a) To find the maximum length, apply the steady, incompressible flow energy equation between points 2 and 1: P2 V2 P V2 + 2 + z2 + hP = 1 + 1 + z1 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g The pipe is constant area and horizontal, so V2 = V1 and z2 = z1 There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 , and there are no minor losses: Solving for length Velocity is :

For air at 300 K and one atmosphere, a fan performance curve can be approximated with h = 70 3 104 V 2 , where h is the pressure rise across the fan in cm of water and V is the air flow rate in m3/min. The fan discharges into a smooth rectangular duct 20-cm by 40-cm. Determine: a. the flow rate if the duct is 30-m long (in m3/min) b. the flow rate if the duct is 75-m long (in m3/min).
Approach:
We must balance the pressure loss in the duct against the pressure head produced by the fan. Pressure drop is calculated directly with the steady, incompressible flow energy equation. Because the friction factor depends on flow rate, an iterative solution is required.
Assumptions:
1. 2. 3. 4. The system is steady. The flow is fully developed. Properties are constant. The duct is smooth.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g Let location 1 be just upstream from the fan and station 2 at the end of the duct, so P = P2 . The duct is constant 1 area and horizontal, so V1 = V2 and z1 = z2 There is no turbine, so hT = 0 , and there are no minor losses:
L V2 (1) D 2g where hP is produced by the fan (expressed in consistent units). The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. For air from Appendix A-7at 100 kPa, 300 K, = 1.846 105 Ns m 2 , = 1.1774 kg m3 . hP = f
Velocity is :

For any volume flow greater than 1 m3/min, this is turbulent flow so with a smooth duct: D 1.11 6.9 0 1.11 6.9 1 (4) = 1.8log + = 1.8log + Re Re f 3.7 3.7 The solution procedure is to solve the above four equations simultaneously using an iterative procedure: guess a volume flow rate V ; calculate velocity V, Reynolds number Re, and friction factor f. Then calculate the pressure drop across the duct and the pressure rise across the fan. When these two quantities are equal, then the flow has been determined. Performing the iterations, we obtain For L = 30 m V = 285 m3 min V = 59.3m s f = 0.0116 h fan = 387m of air = 45.5cm of water Answer For L = 75 m V = 198 m3 min V = 41.1m s

A town water system is constructed to supply water at a flow rate of 0.04 m3/s as shown below. Available cast iron pipe is to be used and the gate valve is fully open. The water is at 20 C. Determine the height to which the upper reservoir dam (reservoir surface elevation) must be built (in m).
Approach:
The elevation difference drives the flow. That pressure head is consumed by the frictional losses in the line. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is used to calculate the elevation of the upper reservoir.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g At points 1 and 2 the areas are large and the pressure is atmospheric, so V1 = V2 = 0 and P = P2 . There is no 1 pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 . Therefore,
L V2 L V2 z1 = z2 + K ent + K valve + K contract + f A A A + K exit + f B B B DA 2 g DB 2 g
VA =
The friction factor is a function of Reynolds number and roughness. For cast iron pipe =0.26mm , and for water from Appendix A-6 at 10 C, = 12.9 104 Ns m 2 , = 999.6 kg m3 . The Reynolds numbers are:
The flow is turbulent, so 0.26 200 1.11 1 6.9 = 1.8log f A = 0.0221 + 197, 000 fA 3.7 Similarly, f B = 0.0233 From Table 9-3, Figures 9-13, 9-14, and 9-15, Kent = 0.5, Kvalve = 0.15 (assumed fully open), Kexit = 1.0
Therefore,

The pump in an existing water system (shown below) fails and must be replaced. A duplicate is not available, so a manufacturer proposes a pump with a pump curve: hP = 4 106 V 2 + 0.0038V + 86 , where
V is in gal/min and hp is in ft. The gate valve is fully open and a friction factor of 0.018 can be used for both pipes. Determine the flow rate in the system (in gal/min).
Approach:
The pump must supply enough head to overcome frictional losses in the suction and discharge pipes, as well as the elevation head. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation is used to calculate the required pump head. The given pump head curve is equated to the head loss calculation to determine the operating point.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
From point 1 to point 2, the steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + + hT + hL g 2g g 2g There is no turbine, so hT = 0 . The areas at 1 and 2 are large, so V1 = V2 = 0 , and pressure is atmospheric, so P = P2 . The losses include entrance, exit, valve, and line losses. Therefore, 1
L V2 L V2 hP = ( z2 z1 ) + K ent + f A A A + K valve + K exit + f B B B DA 2 g DB 2 g
VB = VA ( DA DB )

where hp is in ft and V is in gal/min. From Table 9-3 and Figures 9-13 and 9-14, K ent = 0.5, K exit = 1.0, and K valve = 0.15 , assuming the valve is fully open. Substituting the known information into the head loss equation: 4 VA2 40 0.833 800 + hP = (1204-1152 ) ft+ 0.5+ ( 0.018 ) 0.15+1+ ( 0.018 ) 0.833 0.667 0.667 2 ( 32.2 ft s 2 ) (3) Simplifying: hP = 52.0ft+0.882VA2 The above three equations are solved simultaneously to find the operating point of the pump. Solving them, we obtain: V = 1450 gal min

In drier regions, large central pivot sprinkler systems are used to irrigate large areas. Consider the simplified schematic of a portion of such a sprinkler (shown below). Water at 10 C is pumped through the spray arm that is constructed of 2.5-cm diameter galvanized iron. The flow area of each nozzle is 1.5 cm2. The pressure at the first nozzle is 250 kPa (gage). Ignoring friction in each nozzle but not in the connecting lengths of pipe, determine the flow rate through the sprinkler (in m3/s).
Approach:
The total flow is such that all the pressure head at location 1 is used to balance line losses in the galvanized pipe and the creation of kinetic energy at the nozzle exits. The flow through each nozzle is different and can be estimated using the Bernoulli equation. Because the line losses are a function of flow rate and friction factor, an iterative solution is required. The steady, incompressible flow energy equation must be used.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
The frictional losses between each nozzle can be calculated with the steady, incompressible flow energy equation. P V2 P V2 1 For flow between location 1 and 2: + 1 + z1 + hP = 2 + 2 + z2 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g There is no pump or turbine, so hp = hT = 0 . The pipe diameter and elevation are constant, so V1 = V2 and
z1 = z2 . Ignoring minor losses:
2 L V12 D 2 Note that velocity and friction factor are different for each segment of pipe. The velocity is: V12 = V12 A = 4V12 D 2 The flow between points 1 and 2 is the difference between what enters the system and what is leaving through the nozzle: V12 = V1 V j1
P2 = P f12 1
Assuming no losses in the nozzle, we use the Bernoulli equation to calculate the flow through the nozzle: 2 V j1 Pj V2 P 1 + 1 + z1 = + + z j1 g 2g g 2g Neglecting the inlet velocity and the elevation difference, V1 0 and z1 = z j , and expressing the pressures in gage pressure, Pj = 0 , we obtain:

Note that with this design different flows exit at each nozzle. This would not be a good design, since a farmer would want uniform coverage on a field. Hence, different size nozzles or some other modification would be used to ensure equal flow through all nozzles.

Two pipes are connected in parallel. The first pipe is 2-cm in diameter and 100-m long with a friction factor of 0.012. The second pipe is 5-cm in diameter 50-m long with a friction factor of 0.010. Determine the ratio of the flow rates in the two pipes.
Approach:
We assume the same pressure drop across these two pipes and ignore minor losses. A ratio of the steady, incompressible flow energy equations written for both pipes will give the ratio of the velocities, which can be used to obtain a ratio of the flow rates.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.

For a storm sewer modification project, a 24-in. pipe and a 30-in. pipe both open at their ends to the atmosphere are to be joined using three existing (but under-utilized pipes) as shown on the figure. All the pipes are concrete, and the friction factors are shown on the figure. The branches are horizontal For a total flow rate of 20 ft3/s of 60 F water, determine the flow rate in each of the three connecting pipes (in ft3/s) and the elevation difference from the entrance to the exit.
Approach:
We know the total flow through the system and that the head loss across the middle three branches (B, C, and D) is the same. There are four unknowns in the problem: the head loss from 2 to 3, and the volume flows through the three branches. We use conservation of mass and the steady, incompressible flow energy equations to obtain the required four equations.
Assumptions:
1. The system is steady. 2. The flow is fully developed. 3. Properties are constant.
Solution:
Conservation of mass with constant density water for the whole system is: mtot = mB + mC + mD where m = V . Therefore, Vtot = VB + VC + VD (1) From point 2 to point 3, the steady, incompressible flow energy equation is: P V2 P2 V2 + 2 + z2 + hP = 3 + 3 + z3 + + hT + hL g 2g g 2g There is no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 , and we ignore minor losses. Each of the pipes is constant area, so the velocity is constant. The pipe is horizontal, so z2 = z3 . Therefore,
P2 P3 L V2 = f g D 2g
Let hbr = ( P2 P3 ) g , which is the same for all three branches. Applying the pressure drop equation to each branch:
hbr = f B hbr = fC hbr = f D LB VB2 DB 2 g LC VC2 DC 2 g LD VD2 DD 2 g
V =
V 4V = A D2 We have four equations and four unknowns: VB , VC , VD , hbr . With the given information, the equations can be solved simultaneously (iteratively) for the unknowns. Doing so, we obtain: VB = 9.23ft 3 s VC = 4.20 ft 3 s VD = 6.57 ft 3 s hbr = 26.7ft Answers Now we need to evaluate the elevation difference between points 1and 4. Using the energy equation P V2 P V2 1 + 1 + z1 + hP = 4 + 4 + z4 + hT + hL g 2g g 2g
With no pump or turbine, so hP = hT = 0 , no minor losses, and P = P4 , and noting that there are line losses in 1 pipe 1-2 and 3-4 and we know the line loss between 2-3, since we calculated that above: 9- 72
