It is necessary to find the head loss for the pipe reducer shown, installed in a system
Question:
It is necessary to find the head loss for the pipe reducer shown, installed in a system with 10°C water flowing at 0.040 m3/s. The diameter reduces from 20 cm to 12 cm across this fitting (flow direction arrow shown), and the centerline pressure is measured to drop from 490 kPa to 470 kPa for the given flow rate. Assume the kinetic energy correction factor is 1.05 at the reducer inlet and exit and that the reducer is horizontal.
