Question

Problem 5) Water is pumped through a 60 m long, 0.3 m diameter pipe from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir whose surface is 10 m above the lower one. The sum of the minor loss coefficient for the system is kL = 14.5. When the pump adds 40 kW to the water, the flow rate is 0.2 m3/s. Determine the pipe roughness.

Answer 1

Answer:

\epsilon = 0.028*0.3 = 0.0084

Explanation:

\frac{P_1}{\rho} + \frac{v_1^2}{2g} +z_1 +h_p - h_l =\frac{P_2}{\rho} + \frac{v_2^2}{2g} +z_2

where P_1 = P_2 = 0

V1 AND V2  =0

Z1 =0

h_P = \frac{w_p}{\rho Q}

=\frac{40}{9.8*10^3*0.2} = 20.4 m

20.4 - (f [\frac{l}{d}] +kl) \frac{v_1^2}{2g} = 10

we know thaTV  =\frac{Q}{A}

V = \frac{0.2}{\pi \frac{0.3^2}{4}} =2.82 m/sec

20.4 - (f \frac{60}{0.3} +14.5) \frac{2.82^2}{2*9.81} = 10

f  = 0.0560

Re =\frac{\rho v D}{\mu}

Re =\frac{10^2*2.82*0.3}{1.12*10^{-3}} =7.53*10^5

fro Re = 7.53*10^5 and f = 0.0560

\frac{\epsilon}{D] = 0.028

\epsilon = 0.028*0.3 = 0.0084
