Answer:
The pumping power per ft of pipe length required to maintain this flow at the specified rate 0.370 Watts
Explanation:
See calculation attached.
- First obtain the properties of water at 60⁰F. Density of water, dynamic viscosity, roughness value of copper tubing.
- Calculate the cross-sectional flow area.
- Calculate the average velocity of water in the copper tubes.
- Calculate the frictional factor for the copper tubing for turbulent flow using Colebrook equation.
- Calculate the pressure drop in the copper tubes.
- Then finally calculate the power required for pumping.
