Water flows out from a storage tank through a pipe of 50 mm dia. at a rate of 9.82 l/s. Determine the loss of head at entrance if it is (i) bell mounted (ii) square edged and (iii) reentrant.
Refer section 7.12
(i) In this case the loss coefficient is 0.04
u = 4Q/πD² = 4 × 9.82/(1000 × π × 0.05²) = 5 m/s
∴ h_{f} = 0.04 × 5²/2 × 9.81 = 0.051 m.
(ii) In this case loss coeffcient is 0.5. ∴ h_{f} = 0.5 × 5²/2 × 9.81 = 0.637 m
(iii) The loss coefficient in this case = 0.8 ∴ h_{f} = 0.8 × 5²/2 × 9.81 = 1.019 m
