Solution of Pipe Flow Problem # 1:

Given Data:
Pipeline length = L = 400 m
Pipeline diameter = D = 150 mm = 0.15 m
Discharge = Q = 20 l/s = 0.02 m3/s
Coefficient of friction for the pipe = Cf = 0.002 f = 4 Cf = 4x0.002 = 0.008

Find:

Head loss due to friction (hf) per unit length of the pipe (L)?

Solution:
As hf = fLV2/D2g
Head loss due to friction (hf) per unit length (L) of the pip= hf/L = fV2/D2g
V is needed which can be calculated by, V = Q/A = 0.02/πD2/4 = 0.02x4/ π (0.15)2 = 1.13 m/s
Now hf/L = fV2/D2g = 0.008 x (1.13)2/(0.15)x2x9.81= 0.00347
So answer is hf/L = 0.00347 (hf = 1.39 m)

Solution of Pipe Flow Problem # 2:
A pipe 500 m long is conveying water with a velocity 1 m/s. what will be suitable diameter of
the pipe, if frictional head loss is 3.4 m. Take pipe friction of 0.01.

Given Data:
Pipeline length = L = 500 m
Flow velocity = 1 m/s
Frictional head loss = hf = 3.4 m
Pipe friction factor = f = 0.01

Find:
Diameter of the pipe = D =?

Solution:
As hf = fLV2/D2g
D = fLV2/2g hf = 0.01x500x (1)2/2x9.81x3.4 = 0.07 m = 74.95 mm = 75 mm
So answer is, D = 75 mm

Solution of Pipe Flow Problem # 3:


A liquid is flowing in a pipeline of 800 m long and 500 mm diameter at the rate of 20 cumec.
The liquid has an absolute viscosity of 23 cP. It weighs 8.4 kN/m3. What is its kinematic
viscosity in centistoke (cSt)?

Given Data:
Pipeline length = L = 800 m
Pipeline diameter = D = 500 mm = 0.5 m
Discharge = Q = 20 cumec = 20 m3/s
Liquid’s absolute viscosity = µ = 23 cP
Liquid’s specific weight =  = 8.4 kN/m3

Find:
Kinematic viscosity in centistoke (cSt)?
Solution:

𝝁
As: Kinematic viscosity (ν) = absolute viscosity (𝜇)/density ((𝜌) or 𝛎 =
𝝆
Here:
𝛎 will be in m2/s; 𝝁 will be in N.s/m2 and 𝝆 will be in kg/m3
As 100 cP = 1 P = 0.01 N.s/m2
µ = 23 cP = 23/100 P = (23/100) x 0.01 N.s/m2 = 0.0023 N.s/m2
As  = ρg or ρ = /g
So ρ = 8400/9.81 = 856.27 kg/m3 ( = 8.4 kN/m3 = 8400 N/ m3)

𝝁
Now: 𝛎 = = 0.0023/856.27 = 2.69 x 10-6 m2/s
𝝆
𝛎 = 2.69 x 10-6 x 100X100 = 0.0269 cm2/s = 0.0269 Stokes (St) (1 m = 100 cm)
𝛎 = 0.0269 x 100 cSt = 2.69 cSt (1 St = 100 cSt)
𝛎 = 2.69 cSt
