Solution

The mean velocity and pressure of water before the expansion section are 7 m / s and 150 kPa, respectively. Determine the head loss in the expansion section, and the pressure in the larger-diameter pipe.

Determine (a) the head loss, (b) pressure drop, and (c) the pumping power requirement
to overcome this pressure drop.

2. A 6-cm-diameter horizontal water pipe expands gradually to a 9-cm-diameter pipe .


The walls of the expansion section are angled 30 degrees from thehorizontal. Themean
velocity and pressure of water before the expansion section are 7 m/s and 150 kPa,
respectively. Determine the head loss in the expansionsection, and the pressure in the
larger-diameter pipe.
