Water to a residential area is transported at a rate of 1.5 m3/s via 70-cm-internal-diameter concrete pipes with a surface roughness of 3 mm and a total length of 1500 m. In order to reduce pumping power requirements, it is proposed to line the interior surfaces of the concrete pipe with 2-cm-thick petroleum-based lining that has a surface roughness thickness of 0.04 mm. There is a concern that the reduction of pipe diameter to 66 cm and the increase in average velocity may offset any gains. Taking rho = 1000 kg/m3 and Î½ = 1 Ã— 10â€“6 m2/s for water, determine the percent increase or decrease in the pumping power requirements due to pipe frictional losses as a result of lining the concrete pipes.

Along 8-cm diameter steam pipe whose external surface temperature is 900c connects two buildings. the pipe is exposed to ambient air at 70c with a wind speed of 50 km/hr blowing across the pipe. determine the heat loss from the pipe per unit length. (b) air at 500c enters a section of a rectangular duct (15 cm x 20 cm) at an average velocity of 7 m/s. if the walls of the duct are maintained at 100c. a) the length of the tube for an exit temperature of the air to be 40 0c. b)the rate of heat transfer from the air. c) the fan power needed to overcome the pressure drop in this section of the duct.
