Water flows steadily with a velocity of 3.05 m/s in a horizontal pipe having a diameter of 25.24 cm. At one section of the pipe, the temperature and pressure of the water are 21C and 689.3 kPa, respectively., at a distance of 204.8 m downstream the pressure is 516.9 kPa. What is the friction factor?

Water is flowing at the rate of 1.676 m/s in a 3.068-inch diameter horizontal pipe at a pressure p1 of 68.9 kPa. It then passes to a pipe having an inside diameter of 2.067 inches. The density of the water is 998 kg/m^3. a) Calculate the new pressure p2 in the 2.067-inch pipe. Assume no friction losses. b) If the piping is vertical and the flow is upward, calculate the new pressure p2. The pressure tap for p2 is 0.457 m above the tap for p1. c) Compare and discuss your answers in 2(a) and 2(b).

Water flows in a circular pipe. At one section the diameter is 0.8 m, the static pressure is 140 kPa gauge, the velocity is 5 m/s and the elevation is 15 m above ground level. The elevation at a section in downstream is 0 m, and the pipe diameter is 0.4 m. Evaluate the gauge pressure at the downstream section. Frictional effects may be neglected. A pipe (A) 800 mm in diameter branches into two pipes (B and C) of diameters 500 mm and 300 mm respectively. If the average velocity in 800 mm diameter pipe is 6.5 m/s Calculate: a) Discharge through 800 mm diameter pipe b) Velocity in 300 mm diameter pipe if the average velocity in 500 mm pipe is 4 m/s
