Question

(b) Oil with a kinematic viscosity and density of $1.098 \times 10^{-4} m^2/s$, $910 kg/m^3$ flows in a pipe with a diameter of 0.023 m as shown in Figure Q1(b). A differential U-tube manometer is used to measure the pressure drop along the pipe. If the Reynolds Number of the flow is 1950, determine; (i) average velocity. (ii) flowrate. (iii) pressure drop. (iv) the value of h.

Step 1

Step 1: Calculate the average velocity using the formula for Reynolds Number: \[Re = \frac{\rho \cdot V \cdot D}{\mu}\] where: $Re$ = Reynolds Number $\rho$ = density $V$ = average velocity $D$ = diameter of the pipe $\mu$ = kinematic viscosity Show more…

(b) With a kinematic viscosity and density of 1.098 x 10^(-4) (m^2)/(s), 910k(w)/(m^2) flows in a pipe with a diameter of 0.023m as shown in Figure Q1(b). A differential U-tube manometer is used to measure the pressure drop along the pipe. If the Reynolds Number of the flow is 1950, determine: (i) average velocity. (ii) flowrate. (iii) pressure drop. (iv) the value of h.
