    This document provides 7 problems related to fluid flow in pipes. The problems cover topics like determining pressure drop, head loss, and power required for both laminar and turbulent flow of various liquids in circular pipes of different diameters, lengths, materials, and orientations. Flow rates, fluid properties, and pipe characteristics are given, and calculations are required to be performed for things like pressure drop, head loss, and power.

    CHE 413: Tutorial 5

    (Laminar & Turbulent flow in Circular pipes)

    1. Consider the flow of oil with ρ = 894 kg/m3 and µ = 2.33 kg/m.s in a 40 cm diameter pipeline at an
    average velocity of 0.5 m/s. A 300 m long section of the pipeline passes through the icy water of a
    lake. Disregarding the entrance effects, determine (a) the pressure drop, and (b) the head loss.

    2. Oil at 26.67ºC (ρ = 909.8 kg/m3 and µ = 0.0413 N.s/m2) is flowing steadily in a 1.25 cm diameter,
    36.5 m long pipe. During the flow, the pressure at the pipe inlet and exit is measured to be 827 kPa
    and 96 kPa, respectively. Determine the flow rate of oil through the pipe assuming the pipe is (a)
    horizontal, (b) inclined 20º upward, and (c) inclined 20º downward.

    3. Water at 15 ºC (ρ = 999.1 kg/m3 and µ = 1.138 x 10-3 kg/m.s) is flowing steadily in a 30 m long and
    4 cm diameter horizontal pipe made of stainless steel at a rate of 8 L/s. Determine (a) the pressure
    drop, and (b) the head loss. (c) power required to overcome the losses.

    4. Calculate the pressure drop along 170 m of 5 cm diameter horizontal steel pipe through which olive
    oil is flowing at the rate of 0.1 m3/min. Take viscosity of olive oil at 20oC as 84 x 10-3 Ns/m2 and
    density as 910 kg/m3. Determine the required power to overcome the head losses.

    5. Water flows in a 30 cm diameter cast iron pipe of relative roughness 0.0008. If the water flow rate is
    200 litre/s, find the head loss per 100 m of pipe. Take dynamic viscosity of water as 1.49 x 10-3
    Ns/m2. Density of water is 1000 kg/m3.

    6. An oil with density of 900 kg/m3 and kinematic viscosity of 1.005 x 10-6 m2/s, flows through a 0.6
    cm tube diameter, 30 m long, at a flow rate of 0.34 Litre/min. The pipes is inclined 10o above the
    horizontal in the flow direction as shown in Figure below. Determine the pressure drop and the
    power required to overcome the energy losses.
    7. An oil with density of 900 kg/m3 and kinematic viscosity of 0.0002 m2/s, flows upward through an
    inclined pipe. Assuming the flow is steady and laminar, determine the head loss due to the friction
    and the flow rate of the liquid. Is the flow is really laminar?
