A city has an old 10-inch steel waterline still in service that they installed more than 80 years ago. The city installed monitoring equipment to determine if there was any deterioration of the pipeline wall. During one of the tests, the flowrate in a 1250-foot section of the pipeline was metered at 1200 gal/min and showed a headloss of 11.25 feet. The temperature of the water was 60° F.
(a) What is the observed friction factor in this pipeline?
(b) What is the Reynolds number for the fluid flow in the pipeline?
(c) What is the relative roughness of the steel pipe?

Refrigerant 134a enters an insulated compressor operating at steady state as saturated vapor at -26°c with a volumetric flow rate of 0.18 m3/s. refrigerant exits at 9 bar, 70°c. changes in kinetic and potential energy from inlet to exit can be ignored. determine the volumetric flow rate at the exit, in m3/s, and the compressor power, in kw.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
