QUESTION 3 An
8mcommercial steel pipe with
46cmdiameter pumps water from a vertical open tank at a flowrate of
3600(m^(3))/(h)r. The pump is positioned
6.7mabove the tank, see Figure 3.1. Details of all the minor losses of the pipeline is given in the Table 1 below. Assume that the density and viscosity of water at the given conditions are
995k(g)/(m^(3))and 0.0005 Pa.s, respectively. N.B. Saturated vapour pressure of water is to be read from steam tables. Table 1. Minor losses of the piping system \table[[Fitting or valves,\table[[Number of fittings or],[valves]],\table[[
