Design & Sizing第 7 / 110 题
Available pressure for friction is 30 psi and the total developed length of the water line is 150 ft. What is the maximum allowable uniform friction loss per 100 ft of pipe (the value used to enter a sizing chart)?
a.10 psi/100 ft
b.15 psi/100 ft
c.20 psi/100 ft
d.30 psi/100 ft
解析
Allowable loss per 100 ft = (available pressure / developed length) x 100 = (30 / 150) x 100 = 20 psi per 100 ft. This uniform-loss figure is the design value you carry across the sizing chart against the flow to pick a pipe size. Spreading the whole 30 psi over 150 ft gives the per-100-ft rate.
