Im practicing the questions in the problem book and seem to be getting different answers to the book can somebody check cheers. [Answers: 57.99 W/m: 1739.7 W: 84.9ºC] textbook answers A water pipe of bore 65 mm bore and 6mm wall thickness, carrying water at 85ºC is insulated with one layer of...

Greetings, I am about to start experimenting with misnamed rocket stoves and rocket mass heaters. I say misnamed because I think the velocities are too slow to be rocket science. (Why would I experiment with these? Because I have cement, perlite, and reinforcement materials at hand and I just...

I have solved the first 2 parts. For the 3rd part, I have obtained the equation: T(x) - T0 = (T1 - T0)e^(-Φx/fc), where f = fm in the question. How do I obtain that expression for H? Thank you!

Is the heat generated by flowing water in a pipe proportional to the product of the rate of flow and the pressure drop across the section of pipe in question, analogous to an electrical circuit? If so, what units would you plug into get an answer in watts?

v1- velocity of water at the top of the barrel v2- velocity of water at the the pipe (bottom of cylinder) p + (⍴ *(v1)^2)/2 + ⍴gh=p + (⍴ *(v2)^2)/2 + ⍴gh atmosferic pressure cancels out (⍴ *(v1)^2)/2 + ⍴gh = (⍴ *(v2)^2)/2 + ⍴gh density doesn't affect the result(cause its in every term)...

This is a situation I don't often deal with; I have an underground piping system that is failing a pressure test and losing pressure at a rate of about 1psi/min from 80psi. I'd like to calculate the leakage rate. The pipe is a simple 10" diameter, schedule 40 steel pipe, 500' long (0.365"...

How do I calculate a resonate frequency of a length of pipe submerged totally under water? Do I just take speed of sound in water which is 1,481m/s at room temp, and decided it by length of pipe in meters multiplied by 4? so at 20 celsius water and 20cm pipe it would just be: 1481 / (.2 x...

I am trying to calculate head loss for a sloped pipe. I found this calculation here, which seems to be what I want..or at least a start: https://www.pumpsandsystems.com/pumps/april-2015-calculating-head-loss-pipeline My confusion/skepticism arises from the fact that the equations in the above...

Hi, Can anyone let me know if I had done this Q correctly? Thanks for any help!

Ideally, the method should be accurate down to 0.01 millimetres or better. We're probably talking pipes of up to 150 mm (6") diameter. Accurately measuring the actual diameter of the pipe is of less importance - it's how much it expands that matters. My idea is wrapping something around the...

There are 2 kinds of home instant bathroom water heater. The multipoint and single point (or shower heater). The latter is one where the unit is connected directly to the shower head. In the multipoint, its located a distant away and it serves multi points like sink and bath. What would happen...

What is the best and fastest way to remove the inside weld line of pipes with 16mm outside diameter and 1m thickness so a piston can reciprocate easily inside it? I have two options in mind. one is to have the inside of LSAW pipes machined, which might be laborious. The other option is to cold...

So, I actually do not know, if the formula given applies to this problem or not, so I wanted to check

Consider a pipe. The pipe is not crushed by the air pressure because the same air pressure is acting from inside the pipe. But this means that the material of the pipe is being compressed on both sides by some air pressure. So is it correct to say that the through-thickness stress in the pipe...

First calc reynolds no. Re Flow = 1.5ms-2 Re = (density x mean velocity x diameter) / viscosity = (1007 kgm-3)(1.5ms-1)(0.1m) / 0.002 Pa s = 75,525 = Turbulent flow I used this chart Here And I am getting friction factor of 0.02 Would you agree with this?

I am in the process of designing a pumping/piping system for fun, have no experience in this field, but I enjoy learning. I have been using ANSI/ASME codes in the project quite a bit. For the system I am using 4" nom. Schedule 40 316 SS pipe. The reason I selected the pipe is because the...

Hello all I am trying to understand the forces that are acting on a pipe bend when a fluid is passing through it. I have been given the following diagram:- The bit i cannot get my head around is why does P2A2 point the way it does i.e. down towards the left shouldn't is point the opposite...

Hi, I am trying to calculate how much water can flow with just gravity from water tank A to water tank B. Each tank as a 2" orifice on the side wall at the bottom. If water tank A is 100% full and water tank B is completely empty, if someone opens a 2" ball valve at the bottom of tank A, how...

So here is my question Have tried it and got these as my answers Have I done part b) correctly over here to find the 2nd highest frequency? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

Struggling on how to do this Q I have tried drawing a sketch of it and had come up with this This is probably not right, as the speed of sound is not given here as well the length of the open pipe tube? Any help would be really great! Thanks

Hello kind people of PF I am looking to mount a fan on one end of a pipe but I'm not sure how much air can the pipe transfer. (Volumetric flow rate) The pipe is vertical and 15 meters long.It has a diameter of 10 cm. I'm looking to push air from top to bottom using a fan. Need to know the...

I was not really sure as to whether to ask this question here or the h/w forum as its something I am personally trying to understand. However, I shall let the admin decided. The question comes from a book called : . The specific question I have an issue with is not the question itself but the...

Assuming water to flow out of the pipe with the same speed as inside and the thickness of water column ##h_{ab} = h_{cd} = h##, my answer would be ##\mathbf{(P_b = P_c) > (P_a = P_d)}##. My reasoning is as follows : at positions ##a\; \text{and}\; d## the gauge pressure is 0 and the total...

Hello all I was hoping someone could help with understanding how fluids level out under atmospheric pressure. For example:- Below is a picture of a tank of water with a closed door at the bottom, the door leads to an inclined pipe that is closed off at the end there is another pipe connected...

The situation is that we have 4.5 inch diameter pipe with a 300,000 lbf yield rating installed in a horizontal completion. The pipe is cemented in place but it is very likely that the one side of the pipe may not have any cement in it. During the fracturing operation, a sleeve is opened and...

Pardon if the answers to my questions are obvious, because as usual I am trying to decipher everything on my own (as the material has not been taught to us quite well; then again it's graduate school). I just need someone to reassure me that I am understanding this correctly. Say for example I...
