Friction losses in pipes can be reduced by decreasing the length of the pipes, reducing the surface roughness of the pipes, and increasing the pipe diameter. Thus, options (c),(e), and (f) hold correct answers.

Friction loss is a measure of the amount of energy a piping system loses because flowing fluids meet resistance. As fluids flow through the pipes, they carry energy with them. Unfortunately, whenever there is resistance to the flow rate, it diverts fluids, and energy escapes. These opposing forces result in friction loss in pipes.

Friction loss in pipes can decrease the efficiency of the functions of pipes. These are a few ways by which friction loss in pipes can be reduced and the efficiency of the piping system can be boosted:

  • <u><em>Decrease the length of the pipes</em></u>: By decreasing pipe lengths and avoiding the use of sharp turns, fittings, and tees, whenever possible result in a more natural path for fluids to flow.
  • <u><em>Reduce the surface roughness of the pipes</em></u>:  By reducing the interior surface roughness of pipes, a smooth and clearer path is provided for liquids to flow.
  • <u><em>Increase the pipe diameter: </em></u>By widening the diameters of pipes, it is ensured that fluids squeeze through pipes easily.

Calculate the viscosity(dynamic) and kinematic viscosity of airwhen
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

(a) dynamic viscosity = 1.812\times 10^{-5}Pa-sec

(b) kinematic viscosity = 1.4732\times 10^{-5}m^2/sec

Explanation:

We have given temperature T = 288.15 K

Density d=1.23kg/m^3

According to Sutherland's Formula  dynamic viscosity is given by

{\mu} = {\mu}_0 \frac {T_0+C} {T + C} \left (\frac {T} {T_0} \right )^{3/2}, here

μ = dynamic viscosity in (Pa·s) at input temperature T,

\mu _0= reference viscosity in(Pa·s) at reference temperature T0,

T = input temperature in kelvin,

T_0 = reference temperature in kelvin,

C = Sutherland's constant for the gaseous material in question here C =120

\mu _0=4\pi \times 10^{-7}

T_0 = 291.15

\mu =4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times \frac{291.15+120}{285.15+120}\times \left ( \frac{288.15}{291.15} \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}=1.812\times 10^{-5}Pa-swhen T = 288.15 K

For kinematic viscosity :

\nu = \frac {\mu} {\rho}

kinemic\ viscosity=\frac{1.812\times 10^{-5}}{1.23}=1.4732\times 10^{-5}m^2/sec

Which of these cars traveled faster during time interval <br> please show solution
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

I think D is correct

Explanation:

C is decreasing function, probably worst

A is arctan -> in radian, the rate of increasing is very slow-> second worst

B(14) = ln(9*14) = 4.8

D(14) = sqrt(8+14^2)=14.2
