Water is supplied to a business in a 1.063-inch diameter copper pipe at 5 ft/s. Friction factor f = 0.025 for this pipe. a. Find the pressure drop over 100 ft of this pipe. [Answer: 5 psia, which is significant considering that the water supply is usually about 50 psig. Bends in the pipe and other pipe fittings reduce the water pressure even more, of course.] b. What is the volumetric flow rate of water gpm?

Problem 8.24 Water is used to cool ethylene glycol in a 60-ft-long double pipe heat exchanger made of 4-std and 2-std (both type M) copper tubing. The water inlet temperature is 60°F and the ethylene glycol inlet temperature is 180°F. The flow rate of the ethylene glycol is 20 lbm/s, while that for the water is 30 lbm/s. Calculate the expected outlet temperature of the ethylene glycol and determine the pressure drop expected for both streams. Assume counterflow, and place...

A tube of uniform diameter carries water to a water pond on the farm. The pond is at the top of a 35 m high hill and its top is open to the atmosphere. The pump that feeds the water from below can supply 450 kPa and the water flows from below at 5.4 m / s. We will use the low level as the reference level. Calculate: a- the speed of the water when you reach the top of...
