1. SAE 30W oil at 20 8 C fl ows through the 9-cm-diameter pipe in Figure at an average velocity
of 4.3 m/s. (a) Verify that the flow is laminar. ( b ) Determine the volume flow rate in m3/h, ( c
) Calculate the expected reading h of the mercury manometer, in cm (ρoil = 891 kg/m3 and µ =
0.29 kg/(m⋅s, ρmer. = 13550 kg/m3).

2. SAE 10 oil at 20°C flows between parallel plates 8 mm apart, as in Figure, mercury manometer,
with wall pressure taps 1 m apart, registers a 6-cm height, as shown.Estimate the flow rate of oil
for this condition. (take ρ = 870 kg/m3 and µ = 0.104 kg/m⋅s)

3. It is desired to pump ethanol at 20°C through 25 meters of straight smooth tubing under Laminar-
flow conditions,. The available pressure drop is 10 kPa. (a) What is the maximum possible
mass flow, in kg/h? (b) What is the appropriate diameter? (For ethanol ρ = 789 kg/m3 and µ =
0.0012 kg/m-s).
4. SAE 10 oil at 20°C flows in a vertical pipe of diameter 2.5 cm (assume length=1m). It is found
that the pressure is constant throughout the fluid. What is the oil flow rate in m3/h? Is the flow
up or down? (ρ = 870 kg/m3 and µ = 0.104 kg/m⋅s).
5. AE 30 oil at 20°C flows in the 3cm-diameter pipe in Figure , which slopes at 37°. For the pressure
measure- ments shown, determine (a) whether the flow is up or down and (b) the flow rate in
m3/h.

6. The system in Fig. P6.105 consists of 1200 m of 5 cm cast-iron pipe, two 45° and four 90°
flanged long-radius elbows, a fully open flanged globe valve, and a sharp exit into a reservoir.
If the elevation at point 1 is 400 m, what gage pressure is required at point 1 to deliver 0.005
m3/s of water at 20°C into the reservoir? (Take ρ = 998 kg/m3 and µ = 0.001 kg/m⋅s. For cast
iron, take ε ≈ 0.26 mm.

7. A blower delivers air at 3000 m3/h to the duct circuit in Figure. Each duct is commercial steel
and of square cross-section, with side lengths a1 = a3 = 20 cm and a2 = a4 = 12 cm. Assuming
sea-level air conditions, estimate the power required if the blower has an efficiency of 75%.

The total mass of chutist and chute is 90 kg. Assuming a fully open chute in quasisteady
motion, estimate the time to fall from 2000 to 1000 m. (ρ = 1.112 kg/m3 at 1000 m altitude
and ρ = 1.0067 kg/m3 at 2000 meters. where CD ≈ 1.2).
9. The resultant of the pressure and wall shear forces acting on a body is measured to be 430 N,
making 30° with the direction of flow. Determine the drag and the lift forces acting on the
body.

10. The drag coefficient of a car at the design conditions of 1 atm, 258C, and 90 km/h is to be
determined experimentally in a large wind tunnel in a full-scale test. The height and width of
the car are 1.25 m and 1.65 respectively. If the horizontal force acting on the car is measured to
be 220 N, determine the total drag coefficient of this car.

11. A circular sign has a diameter of 50 cm and is subjected to normal winds up to 150 km/h at 10 ͦ
C and 100 kPa. Determine the drag force acting on the sign. Also determine the bending
moment at the bottom of its pole whose height from the ground to the bottom of the signis 1.5

12. Consider a car whose width (W) and height (H) are 1.85 m and 1.70 m, respectively, with a
drag coefficient of 0.30. Determine the amount of fuel and money saved per year as a result of
reducing the car height to 1.55 m while keeping its width the same. Assume the car is driven
18,000 km a year at an average speed of 95 km/h. Take the density and price of gasoline to be
0.7 kg/m3 and $0.95/L, Respectively. Also take the density of the air to be 1.2 kg/m3, the
heating value of gasoline to be 44,000 kJ/kg, and the overall efficiency of the car’s drive train
to be 30 percent.

total mass of 4000 kg. Determine (a) the takeoff speed of this aircraft at sea level at standard
atmospheric conditions, (b) the wing loading, and (c) the required power to maintain a constant
cruising speed of 300 km/h for a cruising drag coefficient of 0.035.

14. Consider an aircraft that takes off at 260 km/h when it is fully loaded. If the weight of the
aircraft is increased by 10 percent as a result of overloading, determine the speed at which the
overloaded aircraft will take off.
