Water at 20°C flows through a 5 cm I.D. plastic pipe 100 m long. The velocity of the water at the inlet of the pipe is 4 m/s. The outlet of the pipe discharges to atmosphere and is 35 m above the inlet.
Determine the specific potential energy (in SI units).
Data:
Density of Water at 20°C = 1000 kg/m3
Viscosity of Water at 20°C = 1cP
Atmospheric pressure = 101 kPa
Gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s2
