1. Given the pressure difference generated by a pump is AP = 8.75 kPa, what will be the flow rate Q (in m/s) of water through a smooth pipe of diameter D = 100 mm and length L = 100 m? Assume density and viscosity of water to be p = 1000 kg/m and = 0.001 Ns/m, respectively. Also, calculate the magnitude of major loss for this case. 2. Over time, the initially smooth pipe (mentioned in Problem 1), develops a roughness of = 0.5 mm. Estimate the flow-rate Q through the pipe now. Given, the pressure difference created by the pump remains the same. Again, calculate the magnitude of major loss now.
