1. A circular stack has a diameter increasing from 12m to 16m over a height of 40m. The specific weight of gas increases from 5N/m^3 to 7N/m^3 within the stack. The problem is to calculate the velocity and discharge every 10m up the stack given a bottom velocity of 3m/s. 2. A pipeline decreases in diameter from 75mm to 25mm at points 1 and 2 at the same elevation. The problem is to calculate the velocity head at point 2 given a pressure head of 30m at point 1 and a 5% head loss between points 1 and 2. 3.

ACTIVITY 1

Problems:

1. A circular stack has a diameter of 12 m at its base and diverging uniformly to a


diameter of 16 m at a height of 40 m. A certain gas having a specific weight of 5
N/m3, enters the stack at the bottom. Its specific weight increases uniformly until
at the top where it has a value of 7 N/m 3. Calculate the velocity in m/s and the
discharge in m3/s for every 10 m up the stack if the velocity at the bottom is 3
m/s.
2. The diameter of a pipeline at point 1 is 75 mm and at point 2 is 25 mm. Points 1
and 2 are at the same elevation. The liquid (sp.gr. = 1.2) on the pipeline
discharges at point 2 into the atmosphere. Compute the velocity head of the jet if
the pressure head at point 1 is 30 meters of the liquid flowing, and the lost head
between points 1 and 2 is 5 percent of the velocity head at point 2.
3. A 30 cm diameter pipe is connected by a reducer to a 10 cm diameter pipe.
Points 1 (on the 30 cm diam.) and 2 (on the 10 cm diam.) are along the same
elevation. The pressure at 1 is 250 KPa. The flow is 30 liters per second and the
energy lost between 1 and 2 is equivalent to 20 KPa. Compute the pressure at 2
if the liquid flowing has a specific gravity of 1.50.
4. At point A where the suction pipe leading to a pump is 1.50 meters below the
pump an open manometer indicates a vacuum of 7 in. of mercury. The pipe is
100 mm in diameter, the discharge is 35 liters per second of oil (sp. gr. = 0.82).
Compute the total head at point A with respect to a datum at the pump.
5. Water from a reservoir is pumped over a hill through a pipe 90 cm in diameter,
and a pressure of 200 KPa is maintained at the summit where the pipe is 90 m
above the reservoir. The quantity pumped is 1.40 m 3/s and by reason of friction
there is a head loss of 3 J/N between reservoir and summit. If the pump is 90%
efficient, determine the input power of the pump.
