Full of Example Guys!!!!! Heheheheh: Chapter 4: Flow in Pipes Example #1

This document contains 6 examples of calculating fluid flow properties in piping systems, such as determining Reynolds number, head losses, pressure changes, and flow rates. The examples involve water flowing through pipes of various diameters with components like valves, pumps, reservoirs and elbow joints. Diagrams accompany each example to illustrate the piping configuration. Calculations are shown to find values for Reynolds number, head losses, pressure, and pumping power required. Minor loss coefficients are provided for different pipe fittings used across examples.

Chapter 4: Flow in Pipes

Example #1

Water at flows from large reservoir to a smaller one through a 5-cm-diameter piping system as shown in the Figure
Example #1 below, the volume flow rate is 6 L/s. Properties for water are density = 1000 kg/m3 and dynamic
viscosity = 1.307 x 10-3 kg/m.s. The roughness of the pipe, ε = 0.00026 m, Determine:
i. The Reynolds number and state the flow condition of water in the pipe (Re=117 061)
ii. The friction (major) head loss in the pipe (hL,major=26.76m)
iii. The minor head loss in the pipe (hL,minor=1.13m)
iv. The elevation z1 (z1=31.89m)

The minor loss coefficients for the pipe fittings used are: Kentrance = 0.5, Kelbow = 0.3, Kgate , Kvalve = 0.2
and Kexit = 1.06

Water (𝜌 = 1000 𝑘𝑔/𝑚3 , 𝜇 = 1.0 × 10−3 𝑁𝑠/𝑚) flows through a piping system shown in Figure Example #2. The
pipes are made of wrought iron. The length l and diameter d of each are given as follows:
Pipe 1: l=60m, d=0.289m
Pipe 2: l=22m, d=0.194m
The volume flow rate of water is 0.05m3/s. Determine:
i. The Reynolds Number and state the flow condition of water in each pipe (Re, pipe 1=220218, Re, pipe 2=329800)
ii. The friction head loss in each pipe (hL,Major pipe 1=0.1047m, hL,Major pipe2=0.267m)
iii. The minor head loss in each pipe (hL,Minor pipe 1=0.0411m, hL,Minor pipe2=0.1014m)
iv. The Pressure drop P1 – P2 (P1-P2=3255.22 Pa)

The minor loss coefficient for the pipe fittings used are: Kgate valve=01.5, Ksudden contraction=0.35, K90 elbow=0.31 and
K45 elbow=0.17

Figure Example #2
Example #3

By referring to systems in Figure Example #3, the pressure at A is maintain constant at 140 kPa. The total volume
flow rate of water exiting from the pipe at B depends on which valves are open or closed. The pipe diameter in
branches 1 and 2 are 50.8mm and 101.6 mm respectively. Use K=0.9 for each elbow, but neglect the energy losses in
the tees and the friction loss in pipes. Assume diameter of jet at B is the same with diameter of pipe A. Both A and B
are at same level. Calculate the volume flow rate, Q for each of the following conditions:
i. Both valves open (QB=Q1+Q2=0.0508m3/s)
ii. Only in branch 2 is open (Q2=0.0382m3/s)
iii. Only in Branch 1 is open (Q1=0.0126m3/s)

For the system shown in Figure Example #4, determine the vertical distance between the surface of the two
reservoirs when water with a dynamic viscosity of 1.3 x 10"6 m 2/s flows from the upper level A to the lower level B
at the rate of 0.03 m3/s. Data of the systems are as follows;
Total length of 75 mm pipe diameter is 100 m
Total length of 150 mm pipe diameter is 300 m
Relative roughness, for coated ductile iron pipe is 1.2 x 10"4 m
