Question: Problem 2 : ( 4 0 ) Given: The head loss due to friction in a pipe is given by , h L , =

Problem 2: (40)
Given: The head loss due to friction in a pipe is given by,hL,=KQnn where K includes the effects of the pipe diameter, length, and roughness, as well as the fluid viscosity. For the DarcyWeisbach formula (Delleur,2002),K is given as: ) and n=2.L is the pipe length, Q is the discharge, and D is the pipe diameter. The pipe length is 30ft., the discharge is normally distributed with mean 1.5ft.?3s and standard deviation 0.7ft.?3s, the pipe diameter is 1.2ft., and the f factor ranges from 0.1 to 1.2 and could take any value within this interval.
Find:
Run a simulation of head loss in Excel using 100 trials and the above parameters. Show results in a table including formula used to run the simulation. (10)
Plot a frequency distribution (approximate pdf) of the resulting head loss through the pipe using data analysis histogram function in Excel. (10)
Determine an approximate cdf of head loss using the trend line functions in Excel. Show Equation and R-square value on the chart. (10)
Using the approximate cdf, determine the probability that this pipe will experience greater than 1.0ft. of head loss. (10)
