Why do water pipes burst when water freezes in them?
Water pipes burst when water freezes inside them because as water freezes, it expands and creates pressure within the pipe. This pressure builds up until it exceeds the strength of the pipe, causing it to burst open.
Can water fall up?
No, water cannot naturally fall up due to the force of gravity pulling it downward. While there are some devices and experiments that can create the illusion of water traveling upward, it is not possible for water to flow against gravity on its own.
Is water the slowest moving particle?
Water itself is not a particle, but a compound made up of water molecules. These molecules are in constant motion due to their thermal energy, with individual molecules moving at an average speed of about 500 meters per second at room temperature. The speed of water flow in a river or pipe, on the other hand, can vary depending on factors such as the gradient and volume of water.
Will fluid speed up as it passes into constricted pipe because of the pressure difference?
Yes, fluid speed will increase when passing into a constricted pipe due to the conservation of mass principle, known as the continuity equation. As the pipe diameter decreases, the fluid must speed up to maintain the same flow rate. This increase in fluid speed is accompanied by a decrease in pressure.
Do not flow?
When water is obstructed in its path, it does not flow smoothly. This can occur due to a dam, blockage, or restriction in the waterway. As a result, the water may accumulate and form a pool or back up behind the obstruction.
Flow of water in a 12 pipe in a minute 40 psi?
To calculate the flow of water in a pipe, you would need to know the diameter of the pipe, the pressure (40 psi), and the fluid properties. The flow rate can be determined using the Darcy-Weisbach equation, taking into account the pipe diameter, pressure, and fluid characteristics. Without more information, it is not possible to determine the flow rate accurately.
Why does water flow up a hill in the pipe?
It wont unless its pressurized or under vaccuum.
When dealing with water pressure there is no head unless the pipe is blocked off right?
If water is flowing through pipe, no head pressure can build up. Blocking off flow of water will create head pressure in pipe as long as pipe is vertical. A vertical column of water creates head pressure.
How do solder copper pipes with water in them?
That cant be done because as long as there is water in them the temperature of the pipe wont go up enough to allow the solder to flow. you have to remove the water.
Why you want to set up a water tank higher than your house?
Water has the ability to maintain its level . The pressure of water pipe system increase with height , Thus for the easy flow of water in a pipe system , the water tanks are constructed at highest level in your houses.
Underwater pressure--Can you make water flow upward continuously if you vertically submerge one end of a 1-inch pipe 10 meters or more under seawater?
Yes....that is the water will flow up the pipe until it reaches the level of the water and stop. I don't get it. At the surface level the pressure is supposed to be 14.7 psi; doubled at 10 meters deep. If submerging a pipe deep enough for a significant pressure difference, can we harness the continuous upward flow of water for some application?
What type of pipe do you use to hook up a water riser?
water pipe
What should I do if I have a busted pipe in my home?
If you have a busted pipe in your home, you should turn off the water supply to prevent further damage, then call a plumber to repair the pipe as soon as possible. Clean up any water to prevent mold and mildew growth.
Why does it take ten minutes for the hot water to travel the last 18 inches to your bathroom tap?
Sounds like you have galvanized pipe. Over time deposits, or scale, build up inside these pipes from the minerals present in all tapwater. This build-up narrows the diameter of the pipe to a very few millimeters, thereby restricting water flow. The best solution for this is to re-pipe, as much as you can, with copper piping. Copper does not have a problem with scaling. If that's too expensive re-pipe with galvanized pipe. One way or another, you'll need to do some re-piping to improve your water flow.
What should I do if I have a burst pipe in my bathroom?
If you have a burst pipe in your bathroom, the first thing you should do is turn off the water supply to prevent further damage. Then, call a plumber to fix the pipe as soon as possible. In the meantime, try to contain the water by placing buckets or towels to soak up the water and minimize the damage.
What should I do if I notice my toilet pipe leaking?
If you notice your toilet pipe leaking, you should immediately turn off the water supply to the toilet, clean up any water to prevent damage, and contact a plumber to fix the leak as soon as possible.
How much more pressure does it take to push water up a vertical pipe than if the pipe is on a 45 degree angle?
it takes the same pressure if the vertical heights the same but since the 45 degree pipe would be longer it would create more flow restriction.
