Termofluidos III

1. A heat exchanger consists of 15 m

of copper tubing with an internal diameter
of 15 mm. There are 14 return elbows in
the system with a loss coefficient of 2.2 for
each elbow shown in Fig.P1. The pump in
the system has a pump curve given by
Figure P1
ℎ =ℎ 1−

Where hp0 is head provided by the pump at zero discharge and Qmax is 10–3 m3/s. Water at 40°C flows
through the system. Find the system operating point for values of 0 ≤ ℎ ≤ 20 [m]. Plot the results.

2. What is the flow rate of water at 20C through a 24 in diameter commercial steel (schedule 40)
piping system shown in Fig.P2a? The pump has the characteristics shown in Fig.P2b. What is the
power required?

3. Para la red de tuberías de acero comercial mostrada en la Fig.P3 y con longitudes y diámetros
dados en la Tabla P3. Encontrar el flujo volumétrico en cada tubería y la presión en cada unión si la
presión en D es 120 psi. Elaborar un script en Matlab para solucionar el problema
