Example 1A

The document outlines a fluid mechanics problem involving water flow through a cast iron piping system, requiring calculations for Reynolds number, major head loss, total head loss, and the elevation of a higher reservoir. It provides necessary parameters such as pipe length, diameter, flow rate, and various loss coefficients for components in the system. Additionally, it includes physical properties of water at different temperatures for accurate calculations.

QUESTION 2 Water at 20 °C flows by gravity from a large reservoir at a high elevation to a smaller one through a 35.m long 5 cm diameter cast iron piping system that includes four standard flanged elbows, a well-rounded entrance, a sharp-edged exit, and a fully open gate valve. The flow rate ‘through the system is 0.3 m°/s, Taking the acceleration due to gravity as 9.81 m/s, and the free surface of the lower reservoir as the reference level, determine: 2.1 the Reynolds number and flow regime (Jaminar/transitional/turbulent) through the piping system Mm 22 the major head loss for the piping system [mm] © ®) ® Additional information on X values and the fanning friction factor chart are provided from pages 6 to 8.
