Situation 1
A cast-iron pipe (Є =2.6 x 10-4 m) has a diameter of 25 mm and a length of 90 m. A liquid having
a viscosity of 4 x 10-5 m2/s is flowing through the pipe at 3 m/s.
1) Compute the Reynolds number.
2) Compute the friction factor.
3) Compute the head loss in the pipe.
Situation 2
A cast-iron pipe (Є =2.6 x 10-4 m) has a diameter of 25 mm and a length of 90 m. A liquid
having a viscosity of 2.5 x 10-6 m2/s is flowing through the pipe at 3 m/s.
4) Compute the Reynolds number.
5) Compute the friction factor.
6) Compute the head loss in the pipe.
Situation 3
A liquid (s=1.5) is flowing at its lower critical velocity through a 200 mm diameter pipe, 150 m
long. The head loss of the pipe due to friction is 25 m.
7) Compute the friction factor.
8) Compute the critical velocity.
9) Compute the rate of flow.
10) Compute the kinematic viscosity of the liquid.
11) Compute the dynamic viscosity of the liquid.
Situation 4

Situation 6
Three pipes in A, B and C are in parallel. If the combined discharge of the three pipes is equal
to 0.61 m3/s and assuming the have the same f, compute the following using the data below:
Situation 7
Three reservoirs have pipes n = 0.01, that meet at elevation zero. The characteristics of the
pipes are as follows:

2 0.3 1000 60
3 0.15 600 30
Situation 8
The total head loss from A to D in the looping pipe system below is 9 m. Assuming C = 120 in
all pipes, determine the following if 50 liters per second of water enters at A:
