The flow rate of the water flowing in a sudden narrowing pipe is 0.025 m3/s, and the pipe diameter decreases from 0.22 m to 0.16 m in the sudden narrowing section. Calculate the total pressure drop, ignoring the friction losses inside the pipe?
Added by Sen B.
Step 1
First, we need to find the velocities of the water in both sections of the pipe. We can use the equation of continuity, which states that the product of the cross-sectional area and the velocity remains constant in a fluid flow: A1 * V1 = A2 * V2 where A1 and A2 Show more…

Water flows through a horizontal plastic pipe with a diameter of $0.2 \mathrm{m}$ at a velocity of $10 \mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s}$. Determine the pressure drop per meter of pipe and the power lost to the friction per meter of pipe.
Water flows through a pipe of diameter 300 mm with a velocity of 5 m/s. If the coefficient of friction is given by f = 0.015 + 0.08 Re^0.3, find the head loss due to friction for a length of 10 m of this pipe. Take v = 0.01 x 10 m/s.
