Hydraulic Engineering Assignment Solutions

The document outlines various hydraulic engineering problems related to fluid dynamics, including fluid acceleration in nozzles, normal acceleration at dam crests, and fluid flow past spheres. It also addresses the pricing of perishable products based on time and distance, temperature distribution in fluids, and pressure calculations in a gasoline tank on a trailer. Additionally, it involves piezometric head measurements in a venturi section to determine fluid velocities.

CE2040: HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING

ASSIGNMENT-2

1. Will there be any fluid acceleration in a steady flow of a liquid through the
nozzle shown? If yes, obtain an expression for it in terms of the volumetric
flow rate Q if
the area of cross-section is given by A(x) = A0 (1 + e-x) Assume 1-D flow.
Note
that the value of Q is independent of x.

2. Water flows over the crest of a dam with speed V as shown in Figure.
Determine the speed if the magnitude of the normal acceleration at point (1) is
to equal the acceleration of gravity, g.

3. A fluid flows past a sphere with an upstream


velocity of V0 = 40 m/s as shown
in Figure. From a more advanced theory it is found that the speed of the fluid
along the front part of the sphere is V = 3/2 V0Sinθ. Determine the streamwise
and normal components of acceleration at point A if the radius of the sphere
is a = 0.20 m.
4. The velocity components for
steady flow through the nozzle shown in Figure are u = -V0x/l and v =
V0[1+(y/l)], where V0 and l are constants. Determine the ratio of the
magnitude of the acceleration at point (1) to that at point (2)
5. A company produces a perishable product in a factory located at x
= 0 and sells the product along the distribution route x > 0. The selling
price of the product, P, is a function of the length of time after it was
produced, t, and the location at which it is sold, x. That is, P = P(x,t).
At a given location the price of the product decreases in time (it is
perishable) according to ⁄ = −8 dollars/hr. In addition,
because
of shipping costs the price increases with distance from the factory according to ⁄ = 0.2
dollars/mi. If the manufacturer wishes to sell the product for the same 100-dollar price anywhere along the
distribution route, determine how fast he must travel along the route.
6. The temperature distribution in a fluid is given by T = 10x + 5y where x and y are the horizontal and vertical
coordinates in meters and T is in degrees centigrade. Determine the time rate of change of temperature of a
fluid particle travelling (a) horizontally with u = 20 m/s, v = 0 or (b) vertically with u = 0, v = 20 m/s.
7. The tank on a trailer is filled completely with gasoline, which has a specific weight of 6.60 KN/m3. The truck
is decelerating at a rate of 3.05 m/s2. Find:
(a). If the tank on the trailer is 6.1 m long and if the pressure at the top
rear end of the tank is atmospheric, what is the pressure at the top
front?
(b). If the tank is 1.83 m high, what is the maximum pressure in the
tank?
8. Piezometric tubes are tapped into a venture section as shown in the figure.
The liquid is incompressible. The upstream piezometric head is 1 m,
and the piezometric head at the throat is 0.5 m. The velocity in the throat
section is twice as large as in the approach section. Find the velocity in approach section.
