Water flows in a cast iron pipe with diameter D=0.61[m] from an upstream point A to a downstream point B . The distance between point A and B is x=2.1[km] and the elevation drop between A and B is z=28.9[m]. The discharge in the pipe is Q=1.3[m3s]. Ignoring minor losses, compute the total headlosses along the pipe in using Darcy-Weisbach. What is the drop in pressure between points A and B in [psi]? Assume normal conditions.
D=0.61m
x=21.0km=2100m
1.3mps(0.61(m))24=4.45ms
z=28.9m
Q=1.3m3s
hL=?
p1+z1=p2+z2+hL
e=0.26mm
p1-p2=z2-z1+h2
=0.2610-3m
P=(-z+hL),f=0.016
=(-z+f(xD)y22g)
=(-28.9m+(0.016)2100(m)0.61(m)*(4.45ms)22(9.81ms2))
P=(26.7)9810
55.6m

p=41.1
