Sheet 1 (Flow Through Pipes) Modified

1. The document provides information about flow through parallel pipes, including pipe diameters, lengths, flow rates, and coefficients of friction. It asks to calculate the flow rate in each parallel pipe given the total main flow rate. 2. It also provides information about 3 pipes in parallel, including lengths, diameters, minor loss coefficients, roughness, and asks to calculate the flow rate in each pipe given the total flow rate. 3. Additionally, it provides pipe diameter, length, friction factor, and asks to calculate the increase in discharge from adding a parallel pipe to an existing pipe.

Flow Through Pipes

1) A main pipe divides into two parallel smooth pipes which again forms one pipe.
The data is as follows:
First parallel pipe: Length = 1000 m, diameter = 0.8 m
Second parallel pipe: Length = 1000 m, diameter = 0.6 m
Assume that coefficient of friction for each parallel pipe = 0.02 as a first assumption
If the total flow rate in the main is 2 m3/s, find the flow rate in each parallel pipe.

2) A pipe line includes 3 pipes in parallel. The total flow rate through the line is 0.02 m3/s. The
following table includes the pipes information. Assume wholly turbulent, find the flow rate through
each pipe, n = 2.
Pipe Length :L (m) Diameter :d (m) Minor Loss Coef. : Roughness: ε (mm)
(Σk)
1 100 0.02 10 0.2
2 120 0.025 7 0.3
3 150 0.03 6 0.1

3) A pipe line of 600 mm diameter is 1.5 km long. To increase the discharge, another line of the same
diameter is introduced parallel to the first in the second half of the length. If f = 0.04 and head at inlet
is 3 m calculate the increase in discharge.

4) The pipe system shown in figure has one loop contains three pipes. Determine the flow in each pipe.
The R values are as shown in the figure. Take n = 2.
.If the head at supply point is 100 m, evaluate the head at the demand points

m3/s 50
R= 0.02 s2/m5

R= 0.03 s2/m5
R= 0.04 s2/m5

m3/s 20

5) If the flow into and out of a two-loop pipe system are as shown in figure, determine the flow in each
pipe. The R values for each pipe were calculated from the pipe and minor loss characteristics and
from an assumed value of f, and n = 2.

6) An oil (S=0.82) is pumped between 2 storage tanks in a pipe with the following characteristics
L=2440 m, D=20 cm, f=0.02 and Σk=12.5. Oil level in upper tank is 31 m above that in lower tank.
Use the following pump data evaluate the oil discharge and the power required for the pump.

7) Determine the pipe sizes and the pump shaft power in the shown network by using Hazen William’s
relation. The slope of the energy line equal 0.002. The pipe material is welded steel (CHW = 130) and
the combined efficiency of the motor and pump is 75%.
