Question

Water flows through a pipe with a volumetric flow rate of V = 20 gal/min. The inner diameter of the pipe is Dl= 2.25 inch and the pipe is l=

50 ft long the properties of water include density a. Determine the pressure drop across the pipe(i.e., the amount of pressure rise that your pump will need to provide) using the formula: \Delta P=\frac{\rho \tilde{V}^{2}}{2} f \frac{L}{D} where V is the average velocity of the flow in the pipe (the ratio of the volumetric flow rate to the pipe cross-sectional area) and f = 0.016is the friction factor (a dimensionless number).Provide your answer in units of N/m2 and psi (lbf/inch2).
