Water is transported by gravity through a 12-cmdiameter 800-m-long plastic pipe with an elevation gradient of 0.01
Question:
Water is transported by gravity through a 12-cmdiameter 800-m-long plastic pipe with an elevation gradient of 0.01 (i.e., an elevation drop of 1 m per 100 m of pipe length). Taking ρ = 1000 kg/m3 and v = 1 × 10-6 m2/s for water, determine the flow rate of water through the pipe. If the pipe were horizontal, what would the power requirements be to maintain the same flow rate?
