Problem Solving Chapter V

The document presents five problems related to fluid mechanics and hydraulics, focusing on calculations involving flow rates, pressures, and velocities in various pipe systems. Each problem requires the application of principles such as Bernoulli's equation and the continuity equation to determine parameters like head loss, velocity in nozzles, and power supplied to motors. The problems involve different scenarios including oil flow, fire hoses, garden hoses, and water entering and exiting pipes under varying pressures and diameters.

PROBLEM SOLVING

CHAPTER V

Problem 1.] A pipe carrying oil of specific gravity 0.877 changes in size from 150 mm at
section 1 and 450 mm at section 2. Section 1 is 3.6 below section 2 and the pressures
are 90 kPa respectively. If the discharge is 150 lit/sec, determine the head lost and the
direction of flow.

Problem 2.] If the velocity flow of flow in a 75mm fire hose is 0.5m/s, what is the
velocity in a 25mm diameter jet issuing from the nozzle attached at the end of the pipe.
Compute also the power available in the jet.

Problem 3.] A garden hose is attached with a nozzle is used to fill a 10 galloon bucket.
The inner diameter of the hose is 2cm, and it reduces to 0.08cm at the nozzle exit. If it
takes 50 sec to fill the bucket with water, determine: a.) the volume mass flow rates
through the hose, and, b.) the average velocity of water at the nozzle exit.

Problem 4.] Waters enters a motor through a 600 mm diameter pipe under a pressure
of 14kPa. It leaves through a 900 mm diameter exhaust pipe with a pressure of 4kPa. A
vertical distance of 2.5 m separates the centers of the two pipes at the sections where
the pressures are measured. If 500 liters of water pass the motor each second,
compute the power supplied to the motor.

Problem 5.] A water is flowing through a pipe of 5cm diameter under a pressure of
29.43N/cm2. Its mean velocity of 2.0m/s. Find the total head or total energy per unit
weight of the water at a cross-section, which is 5m above the datum line.
