Question: Water at 2 0 C flows in a 1 . 2 5 m diameter vertical 1 0 0 m concrete pipe at a flowrate of

Water at 20C flows in a 1.25m diameter vertical 100m concrete pipe at a flowrate of
1.1m3s. A 90 bend is installed in between point 1 and 2 to change the direction of the
flow by 90. After the bend, the flow continues in a 1.25m diameter horizontal 100m
concrete pipe. The pressure at point 1 is 12 bar (1bar=105Nm2).
Assume a Darcy-Weisbach friction factor, f=0.019, and assume a minor head loss
coefficient due to the bend, k=0.131.H2O=997kgm3;g=9.81ms2
(a) Determine the major head loss due to the pipe friction between points 1 and 2.
(b) Determine the minor head loss due to the bend between points 1 and 2.
(c) Determine the pressure at point 2.
