Estimate properties and pipe diameter
Determine the diameter of a steel pipe that is to
carry 1500 gal/min of gasoline with a pressure drop
of 3 psi per 100 ft of horizontal pipe.
Pressure drop is a function of flow rate, length, diameter, and
roughness. Either iterative methods OR equation solvers are
necessary to solve implicit problems.
Iterate to find the required diameter For the second estimate of diameter of 0.5 ft, what is the pressure drop? P2 - P1= i psi Is the second estimate too large or too small? What is the pressure drop for the new estimated diameter of 0.55? P2-P1= i psi If you keep iterating on the diameter between the estimates that are too large or too small, what is the diameter that gives close to 3 psi? d= i ft
