Project description
1.
The volumetric flow rate
Q
through the pi
pes
connecting the reservoirs
.
2.
The velocity of the water in each pipe and hence the corresponding Reynolds numbers.
The secondary loss coefficient
s
associated with the entry to the
first
pipe (
k
L1
)
and
final reservoir
(
k
L
5
)
are
shown
in Fig. 1
. You will
need to calculate the loss coefficients for the
gradual contraction
(
k
L2
)
and sudden expansion
(
k
L4
)
, using the data assigned to you
. The loss coefficient associated
with
the bends
(
k
L
3
)
is assigned
.
You will also be assigned values for the
Darcy
Weisbach
friction
factor
s
for each pipe,
f
1
,
f
2
and
f
3
, as well as the lengths and diameters of the different pipes
, and the
angle (
