    REE 307 - Internal Fluid Flow

    Sheet 1 Solution
    Flow in pipes
    1. Water at 20˚C flows through a horizontal 1-mm-diameter tube to which are
    attached two pressure taps a distance 1 m apart. (a) What is the maximum
    pressure drop allowed if the flow is to be laminar? (b) Assume the
    manufacturing tolerance on the tube diameter is D = 1 ± 0.1 mm. Given this
    uncertainty in the tube diameter, what is the maximum pressure drop allowed
    if it must be assured that the flow is laminar?

    2. The pressure at section (2) shown in Fig. is not to fall below 60 psi when the
    flowrate from the tank varies from 0 to 1.0 cfs and the branch line is shut off.
    Determine the minimum height, h, of the water tank under the assumption that
    (a) minor losses are negligible, (b) minor losses are not negligible.

    3. Water at 40˚ F flows through the coils of the heat exchanger as shown in Fig. 4
    at a rate of 0.9 gal/min. Determine the pressure drop between the inlet and
    outlet of the horizontal device.

    4. A fan is to produce a constant air speed of 40 m/s throughout the pipe loop
    shown in Fig. 5. The 3-m-diameter pipes are smooth, and each of the four 90˚
    elbows has a loss coefficient of 0.30. Determine the power that the fan adds to
    the air.

    5. The pump shown in Fig. 6 delivers a head of 250 ft to the water. Determine the
    power that the pump adds to the water. The difference in elevation of the two
    ponds is 200 ft.

    6. A certain process requires 2.3 cfs of water to be delivered at a pressure of 30
    psi. This water comes from a large-diameter supply main in which the
    pressure remains at 60 psi. If the galvanized iron pipe connecting the two
    locations is 200 ft long and contains six threaded 90˚ elbows, determine the
    pipe diameter. Elevation differences are negligible.

    7. Air, assumed incompressible, flows through the two pipes shown in Fig. 7.
    Determine the flowrate if minor losses are neglected and the friction factor in
    each pipe is 0.015. Determine the flowrate if the 0.5-in.-diameter pipe were
    replaced by a 1-in. diameter pipe. Comment on the assumption of
    incompressibility.

    8. The flowrate between tank A and tank B shown in Fig. 8 is to be increased by
    30% (i.e., from Q to 1.30Q) by the addition of a second pipe (indicated by the
    dotted lines) running from node C to tank B. If the elevation of the free surface
    in tank A is 25 ft above that in tank B, determine the diameter, D, of this new
    pipe. Neglect minor losses and assume that the friction factor for each pipe is
    0.02.

    9. Five oil fields, each producing an output of Q barrels per day, are connected to
    the 28-in.-diameter “mainline pipe” (A–B–C) by 16-in.-diameter “lateral pipes”
    as shown in Fig. 9. The friction factor is the same for each of the pipes and
    elevation effects are negligible. (a) For section A–B determine the ratio of the
    pressure drop per mile in the mainline pipe to that in the lateral pipes. (b)
    Repeat the calculations for section B–C.
