Answer:
6.7 m
Explanation:
Total head at section 1 = 27 m
at section 2;
potential head = 3 m
gauge pressure P = 160 kPa = 160000 Pa
pressure head is gotten as
[tex]Ph =\frac{P}{pg}[/tex]
where p = density of water = 1000 kg/m^3
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/^2
[tex]Ph =\frac{160000}{1000 * 9.81} = 16.309 m[/tex]
velocity = 4.5 m/s
velocity head Vh is gotten as
[tex]Vh = \frac{v^{2} }{2g}[/tex]
[tex]Vh = \frac{4.5^{2} }{2*9.81} = 1.03 m[/tex]
obeying Bernoulli's equation,
The total head in section 1 must be equal to the total head in section 2
The total head in section 2 = (potential head) + (velocity head) + (pressure head) + losses(L)
Equating sections 1 and 2, we have
27 = 3 + 1.03 + 16.309 + L
27 = 20.339 + L
L = 27 - 20.339
L = 6.661 ≅ 6.7 m
