Water is pumped through a pipe of diameter 16.0 cm from the Colorado River up to Grand Canyon Village, on the rim of the canyon. The river is at 564 m elevation and the village is at 2101 m.

(a) At what minimum pressure must the water be pumped to arrive at the village? (The density of water is 1.00 ✕ 103 kg/m3.) MPa

(b) If 4100 m3 are pumped per day, what is the speed of the water in the pipe? m/s

(c) What additional pressure is necessary to deliver this flow?

Note: You may assume that the free-fall acceleration and the density of air are constant over the given range of elevations. kPa

Water is flowing at the rate of 1.676 m/s in a 3.068 inches’ diameter horizontal pipe at a pressure p1 of 68.9 kPa. It then passes to a pipe having an inside diameter of 2.067 inch. The density of the water is 998 kg/m3 . a) Calculate the new pressure p2 in the 2.067inch pipe. Assume no friction losses b) If the piping is vertical and the flow is upward, calculate the new pressure p2. The pressure tap for p2...
