Assessement Task 1 Orifice Weirs Tubes

This document contains a 10-question hydraulics exam from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Lopez, Quezon branch. The exam asks students to calculate values like discharge, Cv, Cc, maximum jet height, time for water levels to change, orifice size, and percentage error in measurements. It provides diagrams and equations to help students solve problems related to flow through orifices, weirs, pipes, and tanks. The exam was prepared by instructor Engr. Antonio P. Curva to test students' understanding of hydraulics concepts and calculations.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:

1. An orifice on a vertical wall has a head of 1.13 m of oil (sg = 0.89). It discharges 6192 N of oil
in 88 seconds. The trajectory measures yield x = 2.4m and y = 1.37 m. Assuming the area of
the opening is 25 cm2.
a. Calculate Cv.
b. Calculate Cc.
c. Calculate C.

2. A jet is issued from the side of a tank under a constant head as shown. The side of the tank
has an inclination of 1H to 1V. The total depth of water in the tank is h1 = 6.70 m and the
orifice is located h2 = 3.7 m above the bottom of the tank. Neglecting air resistance and
assuming Cv = 1.0 determine the following:
a. The maximum height to which the jet will rise above the orifice.
b. The point “x” the jet will strike a horizontal plane 1.20 m below the bottom of the
tank.
c. The time it takes for the jet to strike a horizontal plane 1.20 m below the bottom of
the tank.

3. The figure describes the elevations of the water surfaces in the tanks at the time the short
tube serving as an orifice, A=0.004 m2 and C = 0.60, is closed.
a. What is the initial discharge?
b. When will the water surface become to the same level following a quick opening of
the tube?
c. When will the water surface be 4m apart?

4. A trapezoidal weir 1.5 m long has sides making an angle of 75°57’50” with the horizontal.
What is the amount of flow if the weir head is 1.0 m?

5. The given figure shows the geometry of a triangular weir. Calculate the discharge. C=0.589

6. A rectangular flume, 15 m long and 3 m wide, feeds a suppressed weir under a head of 0.30
m. If the supply to the flume is cut off, how long will it take for the head on the weir to
decrease to 0.1 m

7. Select the size of orifice that permits a tank of horizontal cross section 2.0 m2 to have the
liquid surface drawn down at the rate of 140 mm/s for 3.50-m head on the orifice (C = 0.65).

8. Water flows from a garden hose nozzle with a velocity of 15 m/s. What is the maximum
height that it can reach above the nozzle?

9. The rate of flow of water through an open channel is known at 8 li/s.


a. What is the head if an 80° V-notch weir is used? C=0.60
b. What is the weir factor?
c. Calculate the percentage error in discharge that would result if the error in head
measurement is 5 mm.

10. A 90-mm-diameter orifice, C = 0.80, is placed in the bottom of a vertical tank that has a
diameter of 2.0 m. How long does it take to draw the surface down from 4 to 3.5 m?
