Question: A 4 1 - mm diameter Schedule 4 0 galvanized steel pipe is connected to a water main as shown in the figure below. The

A 41-mm diameter Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe is connected to a water main as shown in the figure below. The pressure in the water main is 350 kPa , the flow in the pipeline is regulated by a globe valve, and flow exits the pipeline through a nozzle with an exit diameter of 30 mm . A globe valve is to be selected such that a water fountain as high as 5 m can be generated. The 90 bend between the globe valve and the pipe exit is estimated to have a loss coefficient equal to 1.2, the nozzle is estimated to have a loss coefficient of 0.05, and the galvanized steel pipe is estimated to have an equivalent sand roughness of 0.1 mm . Estimate the maximum allowable loss coefficient for the open globe valve. Assume the water temperature is 20C.
