A 3-ft-diameter duct is used to carry ventilating air (???=2.373×10-3???slugs/ft3, ???=1.57×10-4???ft2/s) into a vehicular tunnel at a rate of 9000 ft3/min. Tests show that the pressure drop is 1.4 in. of water per 1500 ft of duct. What is (a) the value of the friction factor for this duct and (b) the approximate size of the equivalent roughness of the surface of the duct?

A pump is used to carry water (T =60 oF and ν = 1.217×10-5 ft2/s) from a large tank (elevation of surface = 30 ft and at atmospheric pressure) through a pipe to the exit (elevation 60 ft) at a rate Q = 1.5 cfs as shown below. The pipe is made of cast iron (ε = 0.00085 ft). The pipe segment before the pump has length L = 500 ft (three horizontal sections of 160 ft each and two...
