Question:

Repeat Prob. 14–88 for plastic (smooth) pipes.

In Prob.

In large buildings, hot water in a water tank is circulated through a loop so that the user doesn’t have to wait for all the water in long piping to drain before hot water starts coming out. A certain recirculating loop involves 40-m-long, 1.2-cm-diameter cast iron pipes with six 90° threaded smooth bends and two fully open gate valves. If the average flow velocity through the loop is 2 m/s, determine the required power input for the recirculating pump. Take the average water temperature to be 60°C and the efficiency of the pump to be 70 percent.
