t = 0, the water depth in the tank is 30 cm. Estimate the time

= 120 m3/h. Find (a) V1; (b) V3; and (c) V4 if it is known that
increasing Q3 by 20% would increase Q4 by 10%.

3. The open tank in the figure contains water at 20°C. For


incompressible flow, (a) derive an analytic expression for dh/dt in
terms of (Q1, Q2, Q3). (b) If h is constant ,determine V2 for the
given data if V1 = 3 m/s and Q3 = 0.01 m3/s.

4. Water at 20°C flows steadily through the piping junction in


Fig. 4, entering section 1 at 20 gal/min. The average velocity at
section 2 is 2.5 m/s. A portion of the flow is diverted through the
showerhead, which contains 100 holes of 1-mm diameter. Assuming
uniform shower flow, estimate the exit velocity from the showerhead jets.

the force on the flange bolts at section 1.

7- When the pump in Fig. 8 draws 220 m3/h of water at 20°C from the
reservoir, the total friction head loss is 5 m. The flow discharges through a
nozzle to the atmosphere. Estimate the pump power in kW delivered to the
water.

15,000 gal/min in either direction, the friction head loss is 17 ft. Estimate the

and the density of the steam is 2.2 kg/m3. Calculate the maximum power

1 ) A 12 mm diameter water pipe is 60 m long and delivers water at 5
lit/min at 20°C. What fraction of this pipe is taken up by the entrance
region?

an inclined pipe as shown in the following Fig. The pressure and
elevation are known at sections 1 and 2, 10 m apart. Assuming steady
laminar flow, (a) verify that the flow is up, (b) compute hf between 1
and 2, and compute (c) Q, (d) V, and (e) Red. Is the flow really laminar?

3) Oil, with ρ=900 kg/m3 and ν=0.00001 m2/s, flows at 0.2 m3/s
through 500 m of 200-mm diameter cast-iron pipe. Determine (a) the
head loss and (b) the pressure drop if the pipe slopes down at 10° in
the flow direction.

number, and the velocity at the surface.

5)The viscosity is to be determined by rotating a long 6-cm-diameter,


30-cm-long cylinder inside a 6 cm diameter cylinder. The torque is
measured to be 0.22 N·m and the rotational speed is measured to be
3000 rpm. Estimate the viscosity. Assume that S = 0.86.

0.002 m3=s. Estimate (a) the wall shear stress, (b) the maximum
velocity, (c) the pressure drop over 20 m.

reservoir to another 20 ft higher, as in Fig. The piping system consists

90° long-radius elbows, a screwed-open gate valve, and a sharp exit.
