A pressure quantity survey was conducted at two stations in a drift dipping at 12°. The following information was recorded: 

 

STATION 1

STATION 2

 

Dimensions of airway

2.4 m x 5.5 m

2.5 m x 5.5 m

Velocity

3.20 m/s

3.07 m/s

Pressure

99750 N/m2

98750 N/m2

 

Distance between stations, measured down the drift:  800 m

Taking the density of air as 1.2 kg/m3, calculate the frictional pressure drop along the drift and hence the average friction factor. (10 marks)

Ans) Let us first calculate hydraulic diameter of airway DH = 4A/P where, A = mean area = [(2.4x5.5) + (2.5x 5.5)] / 2 = 13.475 m2 P = mean wetted perimet
