Instructions

 You may use the following constants: g = 9.81 m/s2.

1. Determine which of the velocity component sets given below satisfy the equation of continuity:

2. For a two-dimensional flow, the velocity components are


u = x/(x2+ y2), v = y/(x2+ y2)
Determine: The acceleration components ax and ay;
3. It is required to place an orifice in the side of a tank at such an elevation that the jet will attain a
maximum horizontal distance from the tank at the level of its base. What is the proper distance
from the orifice to the free surface when the depth of liquid in the tank is maintained at 1.2 m?
Answer (0.6m below the free surface)
4. 250 litres/sec. of water is flowing in a pipe having a diameter of 300 mm. If the pipe is bent by
135°, find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on the bend. The pressure of the
water flowing is 400 kN/m2. Take specific weight of water as 9.81 kN/m3.

5. The following data relate to an inclined venturimeter:
Diameter of the pipeline = 400 mm
Inclination of the pipeline with the horizontal = 30°
Throat diameter = 200 mm
The distance between the mouth and throat of the meter = 600 mm
Sp. gravity of oil flowing through the pipeline = 0.7
Sp. gravity of heavy liquid (U-tube) = 13.6
Reading of the differential manometer = 50 mm
The co-efficient of the meter = 0.98
Determine the rate of flow in the pipeline.
