Oil flows through a 200 mm diameter horizontal cast iron pipe (friction factor, f = 0.0225) of length 500 m. The volumetric flow rate is 0.2 m3/s. The head loss (in m) due to friction is (assume g = 9.81 m/s2)
A piping system consists of three pipes arranged in series, the lengths of the pipes are 1200 m, 750 m and 600 m and diameters 750 mm, 600 mm, 450 mm respectively. Transform the system to an equivalent 450 mm diameter pipe
A pipeline connecting two reservoirs has its diameter reduced by 20% due to deposition of chemicals. For a given head difference in the reservoirs with unaltered friction factor, this would cause a reduction in discharge of
