Fluid mechanics tutorial

1. Calculate the specific weight, specific mass, specific volume, specific gravity of a liquid
having a volume of 10m3 and weight of 45 kN.
2. A body requires a force of 100 N to accelerate it at a rate of 0.2 m/s 2 .Determine the mass
of the body in kilograms.
3. State the Newton’s law of viscosity
4. Calculate the absolute pressure at an ocean depth of 1000 m. Assume that the density of
water is 1.0 x 103 kg/m3 and that Patm = 1.01 x 105 Pa.
5. A diver is currently located at a depth of 60 m in the ocean. What is the gauge pressure at
this point? What is the absolute pressure? (The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3)
6. Write short notes on pressure measurement devices
7. Water flows through a pipe AB of diameter 50 mm, which is in series with pipe BC of
diameter 75 mm in which the velocity is 2 m/s. At C the pipe forks and one branch CD of
unknown diameter such that the velocity is 1.5 m/s. the other branch CE is of diameter 25
mm and conditions are such that the discharge in pipe BC divides so that the discharge in
pipe CD is equal to two times of discharge in CE. Calculate; (i) the discharge in pipe AB
and CD (ii) velocity in pipe AB and CE (iii) diameter of pipe CD.
8. Through a refinery, fuel ethanol is flowing in a pipe at a velocity of 1 m/s and a pressure
of 101300 Pa. The refinery needs the ethanol to be at a pressure of 2 atm (202600 Pa) on
a lower level. How far must the pipe drop in height in order to achieve this pressure? The
density of ethanol is 789 kg/m3 and gravity g is 9.8 m/s2
9. A horizontal water pipe of diameter 15cm converges to 7,5cm diameter. If the pressures
at the two sections are 400kPa and 150kPa respectively calculate the flow rate of water.
10. State the two main types of fluid flow and discuss their differences.
11. Describe how the following devices are used to measure fluid flow
a. Venturimeter
b. Orifice Meter
c. Pitot tube
