6. Water flows at a mass flow rate 0f 0.8 kg/s through a pipe of diameter 30 mm fitted with a 15 mm diameter sharp edged orifice. There are pressure tappings (a) 60 mm upstream of the orifice, (b) 15 mm downstream of the orifice and (c) 150 mm downstream of the orifice, recording pressure pa, pb and pc respectively. Assuming a contraction coefficient 0f 0.68, evaluate (i) the pressure difference (pa - pb) and hence the discharge coefficient. (ii)the pressure difference (pb - pc) and hence the diffuser efficiency. (iii) the net force on the orifice plate. do = 15 mm dj = jet diameter Cc = 0.68 = (Ab/Ao) = (db /15)2 db = 12.37 mm

7. The figure shows an ejector (or jet pump) which extracts 2 x 10-3 m3/s of water from tank A which is situated 2.0 m below the centre-line of the ejector. The diameter of the outer pipe of the ejector is 40 mm and water is supplied from a reservoir to the thin-walled inner pipe which is of diameter 20 mm. The ejector discharges to atmosphere at section C. Evaluate the pressure p at section D, just downstream of the end of pipe B, the velocity in pipe B and the required height of the free water level in the reservoir supplying pipe B. (-21.8 kPa gauge, 12.9 m/s, 6.3 m). It may be assumed that both supply pipes are loss free.

8. Discuss the use of orifice plates and venturi-meters for the measurement of flow rates in pipes. Water flows with a mean velocity of 0.6 m/s in a 50 mm diameter pipe fitted with a sharp edged orifice of diameter 30 mm. Assuming the contraction coefficient is 0.64, find the pressure difference between tappings at the vena contracta and a few diameters upstream of the orifice, and hence evaluate the discharge coefficient. Estimate also the overall pressure loss caused by the orifice plate. It may be assumed that there is no loss of energy upstream of the vena contracta. do = 30 mm dj = jet diameter = db Cc = 0.64 = (Ab/Ao) = (db /30)2 db = 24 mm

9. The figure shows an ejector pump BDC designed to lift 2 x 10-3 m3/s of water from an open tank A, 3.0 m below the level of the centre-line of the pump. The pump discharges to atmosphere at C. The diameter of thin-walled inner pipe 12 mm and the internal diameter of the outer pipe of the is 25 mm. Assuming that there is no energy loss in pipe AD and there is no shear stress on the wall of pipe DC, calculate the pressure at point D and the required velocity of the water in pipe BD.
