Water (kinematic viscosity, ν = 1.14 *10^-6 m^2/s) flows through a piping system with a flow rate of 0.75 m^3/s. The pipe is 2600 m long and 600 mm inside diameter. The pipe has four gate valves, two angle valves, one swing check valve, three standard tees through flow, and three 90° standard elbows. Calculate the following: a- The total length of the piping system. b- The Darcy friction factor if the pipe is fully smooth.
The pressure gradient ΔP/L in turbulent incompressible flow across a horizontal pipe with a length L is observed to be a function of pipe diameter D, fluid viscosity μ and density ρ, fluid velocity V, and pipe roughness ε. Perform a dimensional analysis of the problem to find a correlation of relevant dimensionless numbers of the problem. D - diameter μ - viscosity ρ - density V - velocity ε - pipe roughness ΔP/L - pressure gradient
