Chapter 16, Problem 16.15PP

A reducer connects a standard 6 -in Schedule 40 pipe to a 3 -in Schedule 40 pipe. The walls of the conical reducer are tapered at an included angle of 40 ° . The flow rate of water is 500 gal/min and the pressure ahead of the reducer is 125 psig. Considering the energy loss in the reducer, calculate the force exerted on the reducer by the water.

A horizontal 150 mm diameter pipe gradually reduces its section to 50 mm diameter, subsequently enlarging into 150 mm section. The pressure in the 150-mm pipe at a point just before entering the reducing section is 140 kPa and in the 50 mm section at the end of the reducer, the pressure is 70 kPa. If 600 mm of head is lost between the points where the pressures are known, compute the rate of flow of water through the pipe.
Water flows through a reducer in a pipe as shown. The pressure at A is equal to 345 kPa and the pressure at B is equal to 325 kPa. What is the flow rate of the water in the pipeline? Flow 150 mm inside diam. 60 mm inside diam.
Saturated water at 310K is being pumped from a tank to an elevated tank at the rate of 7L/s. All of the piping is in 5-in. schedule 40 steel pipe. If the 2 fittings used is 90° ell standard long radius, The pump has an efficiency of 80%. Calculate the kW power needed for the pump. Calculate the total friction losses in kJ/kg.
