Fluid Mechanics

Semester 1503

Q1. A 10-mm diameter


jet of water is deflected
by a homogeneous block
(15 mm by 200 mm by
100 mm) that weight 6
N. Determine the
minimum volume
flowrate needed to tip
the block.
Q2. Determine the
magnitude and direction
of the anchoring force
needed to hold the
horizontal elbow and
nozzle combination
shown in the figure. The
gage pressure at section
(1) is 100 kPa and at
section (2) the water
exits to the atmosphere
(100 kPa).
Q3. Water flows as two free
jet from the tee attached to
the pipe shown in the figure.
The exit speed is 15 m/s. If
viscous and gravity are
negligible, determine the x
and y components of the
force that the pipe exerts on
the tee.

Q4. A circular plate having a


diameter of 300 mm is held
perpendicular to an
axisymmetric horizontal jet
of air having a velocity of 40
m/s and a diameter of 80
mm as shown in the figure.
A hole at the center of the
plate results in a discharge
jet of air having a velocity of
40 m/s and a diameter of 20
mm. Determine the
horizontal component of the
force required to hold the
plate stationary.

Q5. A vertical, circular


cross-sectional jet of air
strikes a conical
deflector as indicated in
the figure. A vertical
anchoring force of 0.1 N
is required to hold the
deflector in place.
Determine the mass (in
kg) of the deflector. The
magnitude of the
velocity of air remains
constant.

Q6. Air flows into the


atmosphere from a
nozzle and strikes a
vertical plate as shown
in the figure. A
horizontal force of 12 N
is required to hold the
plate in place. Determine
the reading on the
pressure gage. Assume
the flow to be
incompressible and
frictionless.
