Tutorial No. 7

This document contains 10 questions regarding fluid mechanics concepts like the Bernoulli equation and flow through pipes and channels. It asks students to use the Bernoulli equation to calculate pressures, flow rates, and heights for incompressible flow through various pipe configurations and venturi channels. It also defines discharge coefficients and asks students to derive equations for flow over rectangular and triangular weirs using these coefficients.

SECTION NO.

Deadline: Thursday - 10 Oct

Please keep a copy for your answer sheet before submitting.


[1] Water flows through the branching pipe shown in Fig. If viscous effects are
negligible, determine the pressure at section 2 and the pressure at section 3.

[2]Water flows from a large tank through a large pipe that splits into two
smaller pipes as shown in Fig. If viscous effects are negligible, determine the
flow rate from the tank and the pressure at point 1

[3] If viscous effects are neglected and the tank is large ,


determine the flow rate from the tank shown?

[4] A large open tank contains a layer of oil floating on water as shown in Fig.
(a) Determine the height, h, to which the water will
rise.
(b) Determine the water velocity in the pipe.
(c) Determine the pressure in the horizontal pipe.
[5] water flows steadily from large open tank shon in figure . if the viscous effect
are negligible, determine the flow rate and the manometer reading h .

[6] Oil of specific gravity 0.83 flows in the pipe shown in Fig. P3.45. If viscous
effects are neglected, what is the flow rate?

[7] Air flows through a Venturi channel of rectangular cross section as shown in
Fig. . The constant width of the channel is 0.06 m and the height at the exit is
0.04 m. Compressibility and viscous effects are negligible.
(a) Determine the flow rate when water is drawn up 0.10 m in a small tube
attached to the static pressure tap at the throat where the channel height is
0.02 m.
(b) Determine the channel height, at section (2) where, for the same flow rate as
in part (a), the water is drawn up 0.05 m.
(c) Determine the pressure needed at section (1) to produce this flow.
[8] Show that the flow rate of the fluid through the venturimeter is given by
Q=C d A 1 A2
√ 2( p 1− p2 )
ρ( A21 − A22 )
where: Cd is the discharge coefficient subscript 1 refers to the inlet of the
venturimeter & subscript 2 refers to the throat of the venturimeter.

A horizontal venturimeter with inlet diameter 200 mm and throat diameter 100
mm is used to measure the flow of water. The pressure at inlet is 0.18 N/mm2
and the vacuum pressure at the throat is 280 mm of mercury. Find the rate of
flow. The value of Cd may be taken as 0.98.

[9] Define: coefficient of contraction (Cc), coefficient of velocity (Cv), coefficient


of discharge (Cd).

[10] Show that the discharge over a rectangular weir is given by :


2
Q= C d ∗b √ 2 g( H )3/2
3
8 θ
Q= C d √ 2 g tan ( H )5/2
and over a triangular weir is given by : 15 2

where: H: is the head above the crest, b: is the width of the rectangular weir
θ: is the angle of the notch.
