(Solved): Determine Major head loss Water flows steadily through the 1.6-in.-diameter galvanized iron ...

Determine Major head loss Water flows steadily through the 1.6-in.-diameter galvanized iron pipe system shown in the Video and in the figure below at a rate of $$Q=0.02\mathrm{cfs}$$. Your boss suggests that friction losses in the straight pipe sections are negligible compared to losses in the threaded elbows and fittings of the system. Major head loss depends on velocity, diameter, and roughness. The loss coefficients for the reducers used here are given in the table below. Coefficients are based on $$h_{\mathrm{L}}=K_{\mathrm{L}}\left(V_1^2/2g\right)$$ What is the fluid velocity in the pipe? $$V=\mathrm{ft}/\mathrm{s}$$ What is the relative roughness? $$?/D=$$ What is the Reynolds number? $$\mathrm{Re}=$$ What is the friction factor? $$f=$$ What is the head loss due to pipe friction? $$h_L=\mathrm{ft}$$ Determine the minor head losses What is the loss coefficient for the elbow? $$K_{\text{elbow }}=$$ What is the loss coefficient for the tee? $$K_{\text{tee }}=$$ What is the loss coefficient for the reducer? $$K_{\text{reducer }}=$$ What is the sum of the loss coefficients? $$K=$$ What is the total minor head loss? $$h_{\text{Lminor }}=\mathrm{ft}$$ eTextbook and Media Attempts: 0 of 5 used Part 3 Agree or disagree Your boss suggests that friction losses in the straight pipe sections are negligible compared to losses in the threaded elbows and fittings of the system. What is the ratio of major head losses to total head loss (\%)? \% Do you agree that friction losses in the straight pipe sections are negligible compared to losses in the threaded elbows and fittings of the system within the accuracy of the calculations?
