Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery

  1. Water flows through a 10 mm diameter and 250 m long smooth pipe at an average velocity of 0.1 m/s. The density and the viscosity of water are 997 kg/m3 and 855 × 10–6 Ns/m2, respectively. Assuming fully- developed flow, the pressure drop (in Pa) in the pipe is ____?
    1. 6840 pascal
    2. 680 pascal
    3. 4844 pascal
    4. 9840 pascal
Correct Option: A

Re =
