Plate 1

The document presents various fluid mechanics problems involving water and air flow through pipes and nozzles, including calculations for flow rates, velocities, pressures, and efficiencies. It covers scenarios such as branching pipes, pressure differences, and the effects of nozzle design on flow speed. Each problem requires applying principles of fluid dynamics to find specific unknowns related to flow behavior.

PLATE 1

1. Water flows through a pipe AB 1.2 m diameter at 3


m/s and then passes through a pipe BC 1.5 m diameter.
At C, the pipe branches. Branch CD is 0.8 m in diameter
and carries one-third of the flow in AB. The flow velocity
in branch CE is 2.5 m/s. Find the volume rate of flow in
AB, the velocity BC, the velocity in CD and the diameter
of CE.

2. The water is flowing through a pipe having diameters 20


cm and 10 cm at sections 1 and 2 respectively. The rate of
flow through pipe is 35 liter/s. The section 1 is 6 m above
datum and section 2 is 4 m above datum. If the pressure at
section 1 is 39.24 N/cm², find the intensity of pressure at
section 2.

3. Air flows steadily at low speed through a horizontal


nozzle (by definition a device for accelerating a flow),
dis-charging to atmosphere. The area at the nozzle
inlet is 0.1 m² at the nozzle exit, the area is 0.02
m²Determine the gage pressure required at the nozzle
inlet to produce an outlet speed of 50 m/s.

4. Water is pumped from a lake to a storage tank 18 m above


at a rate of 70 L/s while consuming 20.4 kW of electric power.
The top of the tank is open to the atmosphere. Disregarding
any frictional losses in the pipes and any changes in kinetic
energy, determine (a) the overall efficiency of the pump–motor
unit and (b) the pressure difference between the inlet and the
exit of the pump.

5. Water is flowing from a garden hose. A child places his


thumb to cover most of the hose outlet, causing a thin jet of
high-speed water to emerge. The pressure in the hose just
upstream of his thumb is 400 kPa. If the hose is held upward,
what is he maximum height that the jet could achieve?
