Water flows at a rate of 0.03 m/s through the branch piping system as shown in the figure. The 100-mm-diameter pipe has a filter and globe valve on it, and the 50-mm- diameter diverter pipe has a gate valve. The pipes are made of galvanized iron. Determine the flow through each pipe, and the pressure drop between A and B when both valves are fully opened (20 points). Given following information: 1) Branch 1 has flow through the two tees KTee = 0.4, the filter, Kfilter= 1.6 and the fully opened globe valve,. KGlobe Valve = 10 2) Branch 2 has flow along the branch of two tees, KTee = 1.8, the two elbows, Kelbow = 0.9 and the fully opened gate valve. KGate valve = 0.9 3) 2 9810 N/m and v= 106 m/s.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

SOLUTION To solve this problem we need to use the DarcyWeisbach equation which relates the pressure drop to the flow rate and resistance of the pipes ... View the full answer
