Sheet 4

This document contains 8 practice problems related to fluid mechanics. The problems cover a range of topics including flow rate calculations through pipes of varying diameters, mass flow rate calculations through channels, time estimates to fill containers, flow rate and pressure gradient calculations, conditions for velocity fields to satisfy continuity and Navier-Stokes equations, determining pressure fields from given velocity fields, and determining if a given 3D flow field satisfies continuity and is irrotational. Diagrams accompany some of the problems to illustrate the scenarios.

4- Example: The 100 x 4.80 x 20 m compartment shown is being sprinkled with sea water at steady
rate of 420 m3/hr. The accumulated water height is h. Calculate water height increase rate dh/dt in
m/hr. For a draining area of 0.30 m2 calculate the draining speed.

pressure gradient in the x direction.

find the pressure field p(x, y, z). (c) Is the flow irrotational?
