Question
1. Find the volumetric flow, Qf , of the faucet shown in Figure 1 when the faucet and boiler are both in operation, in gpm.
2. Find the flow velocity vA in Pipe A shown in Figure 1 when both the faucet and boiler are in operation, in m/s.
3. Find the pressure, Pf , at the faucet shown in Figure 1 when the boiler is in operation but the faucet is off, in psi.
4. Find the pressure, Pb, at the boiler shown in Figure 1 when the boiler and faucet are both off, in psi.
Reservoir faucet Line B boiler Figure 1: Pipe Network for Problems 9-12 a 50 ft 10 ft c 20 ft A 3 in DB 1 in DC 2 in Pipe A diameter DA leads from the base of an open Reservoir down a 50 ft hill. At the bottom of the hill, Pipe A branches into Pipes B and C Pipe B diameter D runs up 10 ft into an apartment where it connects to a household faucet. The faucet has a standard 3/8 inch opening in contact with the atmosphere. Pipe C diameter D runs down a 20 ft grade and into a boiler. While in operation, the boiler consumes 3 gpm ia an internal 1/2 inch feeder tube Assume laminar flow and neglect all line losses.Explanation / Answer
4. pressure pb = gh
h = a+c = 70ft = 21.336 m
pb =209092.8 pascal
=30.326 psi
3)
pf = 1000x9.8x12.192
=119481.6 N/m2
= 17.329 psi
