Question: For the system described in Problem 9.26, compute the pressure drop for both fluids between two points 3.80 m apart if the duct is horizontal.

For the system described in Problem 9.26, compute the pressure drop for both fluids between two points 3.80 m apart if the duct is horizontal. Use the roughness for steel pipe for all surfaces.

In Problem

Refer to Fig. 9.14, which shows two DN 150 Schedule 40 pipes inside a rectangular duct. Each pipe carries 450 L/min of water at 20°C. Compute the Reynolds number for the flow of water. Then, for benzene (sg = 0.862) at 70°C flowing inside the duct, compute the volume flow rate required to produce the same Reynolds number.
