Determine the volume flow rate of water (T = 40oC) flowing in the system below in (m3/min).
The information provided is as follows
Temperature = 400 C
Diameter of the smaller pipe = 4 in
Diameter of the larger pipe = 16 in
The length of the smaller pipe = 43 m
The length of the larger pipe = 25 m
Bernoulli’s equation states that
P 1
eg + V 12
2 g + Z 1 = constant
P 1
eg + V 12
2 g + Z1 = P 2
eg + V 22
2 g + Z2
0 + 0 + 15 = 0 + 0 +0
hL = 15 m
For ductile pipe
Pipe roughness size = 0.15 mm
From equation of continuity
A1V1 = A2V2
V2 = A1/A2*V1
V2= 0.444V1
