    1) In fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe, the velocity at R/2 (midway

    between the wall surface and the centerline) is measured to be 11 m/s.


    Determine the velocity at the center of the pipe.

    2) The velocity profile in fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe of inner
    radius R = 2 cm, in m/s, is given by u(r) = 4(1 − r2/R2). Determine the average and
    maximum velocities in the pipe and the volume flow rate.

    102
    3) Consider the flow of oil with ρ= 894 kg/m3 and μ= 2.33 kg/m·s in a 28-cm-
    diameter pipeline at an average velocity of 0.5 m/s. A 330-m-long section of the
    pipeline passes through the icy waters of a lake (figure). Disregarding the entrance
    effects, determine the pumping power required to overcome the pressure losses
    and to maintain the flow of oil in the pipe.

    103
    4) Water at 15°C ( = 999.1 kg/m3 and = 1.138 × 10−3 kg/m・s) is flowing steadily in a 30
    m-long and 5-cm-diameter horizontal pipe made of stainless steel at a rate of 9 L/s.
    Determine (a) the pressure drop, (b) the head loss, and (c) the pumping power requirement
    to overcome this pressure drop.

    104
    5) Air enters a 10-m-long section of a rectangular duct of cross section 15 cm × 20 cm made
    of commercial steel at 1 atm and 35°C at an average velocity of 7 m/s. Disregarding the
    entrance effects, determine the fan power needed to overcome the pressure losses in this
    section of the duct.

    105
    6) Oil with = 876 kg/m3 and = 0.24 kg/m・s is flowing through a 1.5-cm-diameter pipe
    that discharges into the atmosphere at 88 kPa. The absolute pressure 15 m before the exit is
    measured to be 135 kPa. Determine the flow rate of oil through the pipe if the pipe is (a)
    horizontal, (b) inclined 8° upward from the horizontal, and (c) inclined 8° downward from the
    horizontal.

    106
    107
    7) Oil with a density of 850 kg/m3 and kinematic viscosity of 0.00062 m2/s is being discharged
    by a 8-mm-diameter, 40-m-long horizontal pipe from a storage tank open to the atmosphere.
    The height of the liquid level above the center of the pipe is 4 m. Disregarding the minor
    losses, determine the flow rate of oil through the pipe.

    108

    8) Water is to be withdrawn from an 8-m-high water reservoir by drilling a 2.2-cm-diameter
    hole at the bottom surface. Disregarding the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor,
    determine the flow rate of water through the hole if (a) the entrance of the hole is well
    rounded and (b) the entrance is sharp-edged.

    111
    9) A horizontal pipe has an abrupt expansion from D1 = 8 cm to D2 = 16 cm. The water velocity
    in the smaller section is 10 m/s and the flow is turbulent. The pressure in the smaller section is
    P1 = 410 kPa. Taking the kinetic energy correction factor to be 1.06 at both the inlet and the
    outlet, determine the downstream pressure P2, and estimate the error that would have
    occurred if Bernoulli’s equation had been used.
