1.
A FLUID IN A PIPE 200 MM IN DIAMETER WITH A MEAN
VELOCITY OF 3.05 M/S. THE PRESSURE AT THE CENTER OF
THE PIPE IS 35 KPA, AND THE ELEVATION OF THE PIPE ABOVE.
A REFERENCE DATUM IS 4.60 M. COMPUTE THE TOTAL HEAD
IN METERS IF THE LIQUID IS (A) WATER, (B) MOLASSES
(S.G. =1.50). (C) GAS (Y=6.54 N/M3).
2. A LIQUID (S.G.=2.00) IS FLOWING IN A 50 MM DIAMETER
PIPE. THE TOTAL ENERGY AT A GIVEN POINT IS 7.47 N-M/N.
THE ELEVATION OF THE PIPE ABOVE THE DATUM IS 3.0 M AND
THE PRESSURE IN THE PIPE IS 65.5 KPA. COMPUTE THE MEAN
VELOCITY OF FLOW AND THE H.P. OF THE STREAM AT THAT
POINT.
3. AT A POINT A WHERE THE SUCTION PIPE LEADING TO A
PUMP IS 1.20 M BELOW THE PUMP AN OPEN MANOMETER
INDICATES A VACUUM OF 180 MM OF MERCURY. THE PIPE IS
100 MM IN DIAMETER, AND THE DISCHARGE IS 0.030 M3/S OF
OIL (S.G.=0.85). COMPUTE THE TOTAL HEAD AT POINT A WITH
RESPECT TO A DATUM AT THE PUMP.
4. A VERTICAL CIRCULAR STACK 30 M HIGH CONVERGES
UNIFORMLY FROM A DIAMETER OF 6 M AT THE BOTTOM TO
5.0 M AT THE TOP. COAL GAS WITH A UNIT WEIGHT OF 4.71
N/M ENTERS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STACK WITH A
VELOCITY OF 3.05 M/S. THE UNIT WEIGHT OF THE GAS.
INCREASES UNIFORMLY TO 6.59 N/M3 AT THE TOP. COMPUTE
THE MEAN VELOCITY EVERY 7.5 M UP THE STACK.
5. A 300 MM PIPE IS CONNECTED BY A REDUCER TO A 100 MM
PIPE. POINTS 1 AND 2 ARE AT THE SAME ELEVATION. THE
PRESSURE AT 1 IS 207 KPA. THE FLOW IS 0.028 M/S AND THE
ENERGY LOST BETWEEN 1 AND 2 IS EQUIVALENT TO 20.68
KPA. COMPUTE THE PRESSURE AT 2 IF THE LIQUID IS OIL
(S.G.=0.80).
6. COMPUTE THE VELOCITY HEAD OF THE JET, AS SHOWN, IF
D, = 75 MM, D2 = 25 MM, THE PRESSURE HEAD AT 1 IS 30 M OF
THE LIQUID FLOWING, AND THE HEAD LOST BETWEEN 1 AND
2 IS 5% OF THE VELOCITY HEAD AT 2.
7. IN THE FIGURE, A 50 MM PIPELINE LEADS DOWNHILL FROM
A RESERVOIR AND DISCHARGES INTO AIR. IF THE LOSS OF
HEAD BETWEEN A AND B IS 44 M, COMPUTE THE DISCHARGE.
8. A PUMP DRAWS WATER FROM A 200 MM SUCTION PIPE AND
DISCHARGING THROUGH A 150 MM PIPE IN WHICH THE
VELOCITY IS 3.658 M/S. THE PRESSURE IS 34.47 KPA AT A. THE
150 MM PIPE DISCHARGES INTO THE AIR AT C. TO WHAT
HEIGHT H ABOVE B CAN THE WATER BE RAISED, IF B IS 1.80 M
ABOVE A AND 20 HP IS DELIVERED TO THE PUMP? ASSUME
THAT THE PUMP OPERATES AT 70% EFFICIENCY AND THE
9. THE 610 MM PIPE CONDUCTS WATER FROM RESERVOIR A
TO A PRESSURE TURBINE, WHICH DISCHARGES THROUGH
ANOTHER 610 MM PIPE INTO TAILRACE B. THE HEAD LOSSES
ARE:
HEAD DUE TO RUR BIRE
FROM A - 1: 5V2/2G
FROM 2 - B: 0.2V2/2G
IF THE DISCHARGE IS 0.708 M¾, WHAT HP IS BEING GIVEN UP
BY THE WATER TURBINE?
10. IN A TEST TO DETERMINE THE DISCHARGE COEFFICIENT
OF A 50 MM BY 12 MM VENTURI METER THE TOTAL WEIGHT
OF WATER PASSING THROUGH THE METER IN 5 MINUTES WAS
3100 N. A MERCURY-WATER DIFFERENTIAL GAGE CONNECTED
TO INLET AND THROAT SHOWED AN AVERAGE MERCURY
DIFFERENCE OF 360 MM. DETERMINE THE METER
COEFFICIENT.
11. FOR THE VENTURI METER SHOWN, THE DEFLECTION OF
THE MERCURY IN THE DIFFERENTIAL GAUGE IS 0.36 M.
NEGLECTING ENERGY LOSSES BETWEEN A AND B AND
RELATIVE DENSITY OF MERCURY = 13.6. DETERMINE THE
VELOCITY (IN M/S) AT A AND THE FLOW OF WATER (IN MS/S)
THROUGH THE METER.
