2. (a) A 30cm diameter pipe conveying water branches in to two pipes of diameters 20cm and
15cm respectively. If the average velocity in the 30cm diameter pipe is 2.5m/s. find the
discharge in this pipe. Also determine the velocity in 15cm pipe if the average velocity in
20cm diameter pipe is 2m/s.

𝒙𝟑
𝒙𝒚𝟐 − 𝟐𝒚 − . Show that these components represent a possible case of an irrotational

flow. What is equipotential line? (5+5=10)
3. A horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm is suddenly contracted to a diameter of 250 mm. the
pressure intensities in the large and smaller pipe is given as 13.734 N/cm2 and 11.772
N/cm2 respectively. Find the loss of head due to contraction if Cc = 0.62. And also
determine the rate of flow of water. (10)
4. An oil of specific gravity 0.9 and viscosity 0.06 poise is flowing through a pipe of diameter
200 mm at the rate of 60 liters/s. find the head lose due to friction for a 500 m length of
pipe. Find the power required to maintain this flow. (10)
5. A pipeline carrying oil of specific gravity 0.87, changes
in diameter from 200 mm diameter at a position A to 500
mm diameter at a position B which is 4 meters at a higher
level. If the pressures at A and B are 9.81 N/cm2 and
5.886 N/cm2 respectively and the discharge is 200
liters/s. determine the loss of head and direction of flow.
