    STRUCTURED EXERCISES_Part II

    1) Water at 20°C is flowing from section 1 to section 2. At section 1, which is 25 mm in


    diameter, the gage pressure is 445 kPa and the velocity of flow is 3.5 m/s. Section 2, which is 50
    mm in diameter, is 2.0 m above section 1. Assuming there are no energy losses in the system,
    calculate the pressure p2.
    2) A 1,000 mm diameter transmission pipe carries 130 l/s from an open elevated storage tank with
    a water surface elevation of Z1. Two kilometers from the tank, at an elevation of Z2, a pressure
    meter reads 596 kPa. If there are no pumps between the tank and the meter location, and the
    elevation difference between those two points is 150 m, what is the rate of head loss in the pipe
    (friction slope)?

    3) Oil flows through a 25 mm diameter pipe with mean velocity of 0.4 m/s. Given that the viscosity
    µ=4.8x 10-2 kg/ms and the specific gravity (s.g: 0.8), calculate: (a) the friction head loss and
    resultant pressure drop in a 55 m length of pipe, and; (b) the maximum velocity, and the velocity
    at a quarter of diameter from the center.
    4) A mercury manometer is connected to a flow meter in a pipeline. The gauge pressure at point 1
    is 38 kN/m² and at point 2 the vacuum pressure is -50 kN/m². The fluid in the pipeline is water.
    Calculate the manometer reading Rp.
    5) Figure below shows a siphon that is used to draw water from a swimming pool. The pipe that
    makes up the siphon has inside diameter of 40 mm and terminates with a 25 mm diameter nozzle.
    Assuming that there are no energy losses in the system, calculate the volume flow rate through the
    siphon the siphon and the pressure at points B, C, D, and E.

    6) The diameter of the pipe at the section 1 and 2 are 200mm and 300mm respectively. If the
    velocity of water flowing through the pipe at the section 1 is 4m/sec,
    Find:
    i) The discharge through the pipe
    ii) The velocity of water at section2

    7) In a pipe of 90mm diameter, water is flowing with a mean velocity of 2m/sec and at a gauge
    pressure of 350 KN/m2.
    Determine:
    (i) The discharge flow rate Q
    (ii) The total head available
    (iii) The power of the stream
    8) The venturi meter shown in Fig. 2 carries water at 60°C (γ=9.65 kN/m3). The specific gravity
    of the gage fluid in the manometer is 1.25. Calculate the velocity of flow at section A and the
    volume flow rate of water.

    9) Water flows from a large reservoir at the rate of 0.034 m3/s through a pipe system as shown in
    Fig. 4. Calculate the total amount of energy lost from the system because of the valve, the
    elbows, the pipe entrance, and fluid friction.
    10) For the tank shown in Fig…, compute the velocity of flow from the nozzle and volume flow
    rate for a range of depth h from 3.00 m to 0.50 m in steps of 0.50 m. The diameter of the jet
    nozzle is 50 mm.

    11) For the pump test arrangement shown in Fig….., determine the mechanical efficiency of the
    pump if the power input is measured to be 2.87 kW when pumping 125m3/h of oil (γ=8.8
    kN/m3).
    12) A dam 405 m long that retains 8 m of fresh water and is inclined at an angle θ of 60°.
    Calculate the magnitude of the resultant force on the dam and the location of the center of
    pressure.

    13) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the pipe bend shown in Fig. 3
    if the diameter is 600 mm, the discharge is 0.3 m3/s and the upstream pressure head is 30 m.
