FLUD DYNAMICS Piping Network Problem 4.10.1: A piping network is given below. Find out flow rates through pipes 1, 2, and 3. Use the following data: Density of water = 62.37 lb/ft’, Viscosity of water = 7.53 x 10“ Ib/(f.s). Roughness of the pipe = 0.00015 ft. Pipe 1 (AB) is @ horizontal pipe at an elevation of 50 feet Other end of pipe 2 (BC, point C) has an elevation of 10 feet. Other end of pipe 3 (BD, point D) has an elevation of - 10 feet. Both pipes B and C have equal pressure drop of 3.7 psi (533 psf). Solution: Lf [aft | RR Zz Pipe 1 | 200 | 0.1723 | 0.00087 | so Pipe2 | 100 | 0.1342 | 0.0011 | 10 Pipe3 | 100 | 0.0848 | 0.0018 | -10 HV 2kFLUID DyNAMIcs Piping Network Zgty,so2ri Saivieo27t Vides u 150.005 =4y, tt VE fer 1) = 4 fy to = 44664 nF 9, 1b 661x108 APH (hn + (2p- Za) p= 2788 Bt = 18.35 psi AP = AP;* SP 2 23.05 psi
