Consider a 232 ft long run of 2 inch diameter Schedule 40 PVCpipe. The pipe was installed at 72 ° F, and 145 ° F water will berun through the pipe.

1. What is the elongation of the pipe if it is completelyunrestrained?
(include units with answer)

2. What is the thermal stress in the pipe if it is completelyrestrained?

(include units with answer)

3. There are several methods of accommodating the expansionof the pipe, with bellows and a pipe loop being two common methods.An empirical formula for determining the dimensions of a pipe loopis ???? = 0.72?(????*?????) where D is the outside diameter of the pipe ininches (look up on internet), ????? is the unrestrained thermalexpansion in inches, and A is in feet. Determine the dimensions ofthe pipe loop for the PVC pipe.
