CHBE 232 FLUID MECHANICS HOMEWORK #5 A fluid with a density of 850 kg/m flows from a large tank at a higher location to a tank at a lower location in a 120-m long, 6-cm diameter pipe. Determine the height difference between the tanks if the volumetric flow rate is 0.5 m/min. Take the viscosity of the fluid as 10-3 Pa.s. Use Colebrook Equation if necessary. Solve the problem for the following three cases. Comment on your results. A] The pipe material is galvanized iron (E=0.15-mm). B] The pipe is glass. C] The pipe is plastic. Also, there are 7 threaded bends (KL=0.9 for each) and 5 fully open angle valves (KL=5 for each) in the system. I
