A piping system is operating at 400 gpm and 28 psi. If the system pressure were increased to 30 psi, what would the resultant flow rate be? ) 426 gpm 392 gpm 414 gpm 433 gpm

Respuesta :

Answer:

No answer is correct.

Explanation:

given data:

Q1 = 400 gpm

P1 = 28 psi

Q2 = ?

P2 = 30 psi

Change in pressure in a pipe is given as

[tex]\Delta P = \frac{32\mu vl}{D^{2}}[/tex]

where v is velocity and it is given as [tex]v = \frac{Q}{A}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta P = \frac{32\mu Ql}{AD^{2}}[/tex]

Therefore, change in pressure is directly proportional to flow

thus we have

[tex]\frac{P_{1}}{Q_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}}{Q_{2}}[/tex]

[tex]Q_{2}=\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}*Q_{1}[/tex]

[tex]Q_{2}=\frac{30}{28}*400 = 428.57 gpm[/tex]

[tex]Q_{2} =428.57 gpm[/tex]

no answer is correct

Answer:

428.5 gmp

Explanation:

Given that,

A piping system is operating at quantity = 400 gpm

Pressure = 28 psi

Increased pressure = 30 psi

We need to calculate the resultant flow rate

We know that,

The flow rate is directly proportional to pressure

[tex]Q\propto P[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\dfrac{Q_1}{Q_2}=\dfrac{P_1}{P_2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]Q_1\rightarrow 400\text{ gpm}[/tex]

[tex]Q_2\rightarrow x\text{ gpm}[/tex]

[tex]P_1\rightarrow 28\text{ psi}[/tex]

[tex]P_2\rightarrow 30\text{ psi}[/tex]

By substituting into formula

[tex]\dfrac{400}{x}=\dfrac{28}{30}[/tex]

[tex]x=\dfrac{12000}{28}\approx 428.5\text{ gpm}[/tex]

Hence, The resultant flow rate will be 428.5 gmp
