1. Pressure drop due to sudden contra ction:

Pressure drop, P 1 = (K 1 *V 1 2 )/ (2*g)

(K 1 = 0.5( 1- 12.7 2 /15.7 2 )= 0.173)

= (0.173* 10 2 )/ (2*9.8 1)
= 0.881 m of wate r

2. Pressure drop due to pipe friction:

Pressure drop, P 2 = f*(L/D)*(V 1 2 /2*g)

(Re f. 11 & 17)

Wher e,
P 2 = Pr essure drop in m
D = Inside dia me t e r of the val ve = 0.0127 m
f = Fr ict ion fact or = 0.01
V 1 = Ve locit y of fluid = 10 m/ s
L = Le ngt h of pipe = 0.159 m
g = Acce le r at ion due t o gravit y = 9.81 m/ s 2
Pressure drop, P 2 = 0.01*(0.159/0.0127)*(10 2 /2*9.81)
= 0.6 38 m of wate r

3. Pressure drop due to bend:

(Re f. 11 & 17)

Pressure drop, P 3 = (K 2 *V 2 2 )/( 2*g)

(K 2 =0.75 for 60 be nd)

= (0.75*15 .2 8 2 )/( 2*9.81 )

= 8.925 m of wate r

4. Pressure drop due to sudden enlargement:

Pressure drop, P 4 = (V 2 - V 3 ) 2 /(2*g)

(Re f. 11 & 17)

= (15.28- 3.6 4 5) 2 /( 2*9.8 1)

= 6.899 m of wate r

5. Pressure drop due to bend:

(Re f. 11 & 17)

Pressure drop, P 5 = (K 3 *V 3 2 )/( 2*g)

(K 3 =1.2 for 113 be nd)

= (1.2*3.6 4 5 2 )/ (2*9.8 1)
= 0.813 m of wate r

6. Pressure drop due to sudden contra ction:

Pressure drop, P 6 = (K 4 *V 4 2 )/( 2*g)

(Re f. 11 & 17)

(K 4 = 0.5( 1- 12.7 2 /26 2 )= 0.38)

= (0.38*1 5.2 8 2 )/ (2*9.8 1)

= 4.522 m of wat er

7. Pressure drop due to sudden enlargement:

(Re f. 11 & 17)

Pressure drop, P 7 = (V 4 -V 5 ) 2 /( 2*g)

= (15.28- 10.0) 2 /(2*9.81 )
= 1.4 21 m of wat er
