Question: 3 . Pipe Flow Pressures Loss ( 2 mathrm { ft } ^ { 3 } / mathrm { sec }

3. Pipe Flow Pressures Loss \(2\mathrm{ft}^{3}/\mathrm{sec}\) of \(60^{\circ}\mathrm{FSAE}30\) oil flows in a 100 foot long horizontal galvanized iron pipe. The oil enters the piping section at gage pressure 20 psig. Assume fully-developed laminar flow.
a) Determine the oil frictional pressure drop and exiting pressure if the pipe inner diameter is \(6^{\prime \prime}\). Note that it may be possible to use Pouiselle's Law. Also, sketch the oil velocity profile.
b) Determine the oil frictional pressure drop and exiting pressure if the pipe inner diameter is \(0.6^{\prime \prime}\). Also, sketch the oil velocity profile.
4. Fluid Force Calcs: The image to the right is of a horizontal pump with a \(3^{\prime \prime}\) diameter inlet and \(2^{\prime \prime}\) diameter outlet. \(0.2\mathrm{ft}^{3}/\mathrm{sec}\) of \(68^{\circ}\mathrm{F}\) mercury flows steadily through the pump. The pump inlet pressure is 4 psig while the outlet pressure is 51 psig.
a) Determine the mercury inlet and outlet speeds.
b) Draw a FBD of the mercury in the pump. Show the 3 horizontal forces on the mercury. One force should be \(\mathrm{FPHg}_{\mathrm{g}}\)(the overall force of the pump on the mercury).
c) Determine the net horizontal force on the mercury in the pump.
Give both the magnitude for this force in pounds and its direction.
d) Determine the horizontal force (direction and magnitude) of the mercury on the pump.
