Water flows through a horizontal plastic pipe with a diameter of 0.15 m at a velocity of 15 cm/s. Determine the pressure drop per meter of pipe (in Pa/m)

Respuesta :

Answer:0.1898 Pa/m

Explanation:

Given data

Diameter of Pipe[tex]\left ( D\right )=0.15m[/tex]

Velocity of water in pipe[tex]\left ( V\right )=15cm/s[/tex]

We know viscosity of water is[tex]\left (\mu\right )=8.90\times10^{-4}pa-s[/tex]

Pressure drop is given by hagen poiseuille equation

[tex]\Delta P=\frac{128\mu \L Q}{\pi D^4}[/tex]

We have asked pressure Drop per unit length i.e.

[tex]\frac{\Delta P}{L} =\frac{128\mu \ Q}{\pi D^4}[/tex]

Substituting Values

[tex]\frac{\Delta P}{L}=\frac{128\times8.90\times10^{-4}\times\pi \times\left ( 0.15^{3}\right )}{\pi\times 4 \times\left ( 0.15^{2}\right )}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\Delta P}{L}[/tex]=0.1898 Pa/m
