1-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 5 m/s. Disregarding the entrance
effects, determine the fan power needed to overcome the pressure losses in this duct section.
2- Oil with a density of 850 kg/m³ and kinematic viscosity of 0.00062 m²/s is discharged by an 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
oil flow rate through the pipe.
4- Water at 15°C is drained from a large reservoir using two horizontal plastic pipes connected in
series. The first pipe is 13 m long and has a 10-cm diameter, while the second pipe is 35 m long
and has a 5-cm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 18 m above the centerline of the pipe.
The pipe entrance is sharp-edged, and the contraction between the two pipes is sudden.
Neglecting the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, determine the discharge rate of
water from the reservoir.
7- A vented tanker is to be filled with fuel oil with ρ = 920 kg/m³ and μ = 0.045 kg/m·s from an
underground reservoir using a 25-m-long, 4-cm-diameter plastic hose with a slightly rounded
entrance and two 90° smooth bends. The elevation difference between the oil level in the
reservoir and the top of the tanker where the hose is discharged is 5 m. The capacity of the tanker
is 18 m³, and the filling time is 30 min. Taking the kinetic energy correction factor at the hose
discharge to be 1.05 and assuming an overall pump efficiency of 82 percent, determine the
required power input to the pump.
8 –A 120-hp compressor that draws in air from the outside through a 9-m-long, 22-cm-diameter duct
made of thin galvanized iron sheets meets the compressed air requirements of a manufacturing
facility. The compressor takes in air at a rate of 0.27 m³/s at the outdoor conditions of 15°C and
95 kPa. Disregarding any minor losses, determine the consumed power to overcome the frictional
losses in this duc
