0.0425 m3/s of heavy oil flows from pt. A (z = 31 m) to pt. B (z = 21 m) through a 914 m long and 15 cm diameter steel pipe.

γwater = 9800 kg/m2s2, νoil (kinematic viscosity) = μ/ρ = 4 cm2/sec, specific gravity of oil = 0.92.

(a) Is the flow laminar or turbulent?

(b) What is the Head Loss in meters?

(c) If the gage pressure at A is 1065 kPa, what is the gage pressure at B in kPa?

A 250 mm diameter of cast iron pipe flows 39.3 L/s of SAE 10 oil along 500 m length. Given: dynamic viscosity, μ and density, ρ of SAE 10 oil are 1.04 x 10-1 Ns/m2 and 917 kg/m3 respectively. By assuming the flow is laminar, determine energy head and pressure loss due to pipe friction using Hagen-Poiseuille equation and friction factor, f.

A discharge of 2.8 m3 /s flows through a hydraulic turbine. On the 1 m inlet pipe at elevation 43.5 m, a pressure gage reads 345 kPa. On the 1.5 m discharge pipe at elevation 39, a vacuum gage reads 150 mm of mercury. If the total head lost through pipes and turbines between elevation 43.5 and 39 is 9 m, what power may be expected from the machine?

Unfiltered olive oil must flow at a minimum speed of 3.0 m/s to prevent settling of debris in a pipe. The oil leaves a pump at a pressure of 91 kPa through a pipe of radius 9.9 mm. It then enters a horizontal pipe at atmospheric pressure. Ignore the effects of viscosity. a.) What is the speed of the oil as it leaves the pump if it flows at 3.0 m/sm/s in the horizontal pipe? b.) What is the radius...

A liquid of density 1394 kg/m3 flows with speed 2.48 m/s into a pipe of diameter 0.21 m . The diameter of the pipe decreases to 0.05 m at its exit end. The exit end of the pipe is 5.43 m lower than the entrance of the pipe, and the pressure at the exit of the pipe is 1.5 atm. Applying Bernoulli’s principle, what is the pressure P1 at the entrance end of the pipe? Assume the viscosity of the...

2. (25pts) Motor oil at T=-30 deg F has a kinematic viscosity of ν=0.11ft2/s and a specific gravity of SG=0.88. (The rest of this is made up numbers and may not be indicative of actual car engine behavior) Assume that the oil flows at a velocity of V=2ft/s through a cast iron conduit within the engine block. Treat the conduit as a “best case roughness” (use smallest number for ε if needed) cast iron pipe with a diameter of 0.5in...
