A horizontal pipe with a diameter of 4 inches abruptly connectsto a larger pipe of 12 inches in diameter in an industrialapplication.
The flow is turbulent and the volume flow rate is 10ft3/s in the smaller pipe and its pressure is 75 psia.The water temperature is 70-degrees Fahrenheit and the kineticenergy correction factor is 1.06 for the inlet and outletconnection.
What is the loss coefficient, KL
What is the head loss in feet
What is the pressure in the larger pipe downstream from thetransition in psia
