Question: Module Code: EN 2 3 1 4 2 Section A - Hydraulics 1 . Pipe flow A 1 5 0 mm diameter galvanised iron pipe

Module Code: EN23142 Section A - Hydraulics 1. Pipe flow A 150 mm diameter galvanised iron pipe in normal condition (k =0.15 mm) transfers 0.020 m3/s of water with a kinematic viscosity of 1.14 x 10-6 m2/s over a length of 1.8 km. Providing an answer to 3 significant figures: (a) Apply Moodys Approximation to find a value of ; (2 marks)(b) Substitute from part (a) into the RHS of the C-W equation and recalculate from the LHS of the C-W equation; (3 marks)(c) Determine the value of f using the Moody diagram from Massey (2006) Mechanics of fluids (8th ed.) and given that =4 f, recalculate (3 marks)(d) Determine the head-loss due to friction in the pipe using table 5 from HR Wallingford (1990) Tables for the hydraulic design of pipes & sewers (5th ed.) and substitute this value into the Darcy equation to calculate another value for ; (3 marks)(e) Comment on the agreement of found in parts (a),(b),(c) and (d) above.
