Question: Figure 4 . 3 . 6 Pipe system for example 4 . 3 . 5 . ? ? h L m = h L e

Figure 4.3.6 Pipe system for example 4.3.5.
??hLm=hLentrance+hLelbow+hLelbow+hLglobevalve+hLexit
=KeV22g+2KelbowV22g+KvalveV22g+V22g
=(Ke+2Kelbow+Kvalve+1)V22g
where Ke=0.5,Kelbow=0.25, and Kvalve=1.5. The energy equation is now expressed as
50=(0.5+20.25+1.5+1.0)V22g+9.32fV2
50=3.5V22g+9.32fV2
50=(0.054+9.32f)V2
V=500.054+9.32f2
Assuming fully turbulent flow and using ksD=0.00051=0.0005, we get f=0.0165 from Figure 4.3.5, then
V=500.054+9.320.01652
V=15.51fts
Compute Re=VDv=15.5110.60910-5=2.55106. Referring to Figure 4.3.5(Moody diagram), we see that the value of f is OK. Now use the continuity equation to determine Q :
Q=AV=[(1212)24](15.51fts)=12.18ft3s
