Compute the pressure loss due to pipe friction in a pipe of 40 mm diameter and 750 m laid horizontal

when water flows at a rate 4 litres per minute. Take dynamic viscosity of water equal to 1.14 x 10-3 kg/
ms.

Water at a density of 998 kg m-3 and viscosity of 1.005x 10-3 kg/m s flows through smooth tubing at a
mean velocity of 2 m s-1 . If the tube diameter is 30 mm, calculate the pressure gradient per unit length
necessary. Assume that the friction factor for a smooth pipe is given by 16/Re for laminar flow and
0.079/Re1/4 for turbulent flow.

A pipe 1 m diameter and 15 km long transmits water of velocity of 1 m/sec. The friction coefficient of
pipe is 0.005. Calculate the head loss due to friction?

Oil of specific gravity 0.9 and kinematic viscosity 0.00033 m2 s -1 is pumped over a distance of 1.5 km
through a 75 mm diameter tube at a rate of 25 m^3/ s. Determine whether the flow is laminar or
turbulent and calculate the pressure loss.
