Problem 80P

Water flows at a rate of 20 L/s through a horizontal pipe whose diameter is constant at 3 cm as shown in Fig. P12-64. The pressure drop across a valve in the pipe is measured to be 2 kPa. Determine the irreversible head loss of the valve, and the useful pumping power needed to overcome the resulting pressure drop.

ANSWER:

Step 1

First we have to find the  head loss and the power required to overcome are to be determined when the water flows a horizontal pipe at flow rate 20 L /s.
