Question: The 3 0 - mm - diameter copper coil is used for a solar hot water heater. Water at an average temperature of T =

The 30-mm-diameter copper coil is used for a solar hot
water heater. Water at an average temperature of
T=50C passes through the coil at 20litermin. At
50C the water has the density of 988kgm3 and
kinematic viscosity of
u=0.561(10-6)m2s. Take
=0.03mm for the coil. Suppose that L=400mm.
Use the equation
1f2=-1.8log[(D3.7)1.11+6.9Re]*(Figure1)

Determine the major head loss that occurs within the coil. Neglect the length of each
bend.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate
units.

Hint 1. How to approach the problem
Recall the Darcy-Weisbach equation for the major head loss and consider
the unknown quantities in it. Use the given volumetric discharge to
determine the flow velocity. The friction factor can be obtained through the
given formula. Note: you can also use the Moody diagram to determine
the friction factor.
