Tutorial 4

The document outlines a tutorial for CLL231 Semester-II 2025, consisting of six problems related to fluid dynamics, including flowrate calculations, manometer readings, and velocity measurements in various scenarios. It covers topics such as inviscid flow, wind tunnel testing, and the use of Pitot-static tubes. Each problem requires applying principles of fluid mechanics to determine specific parameters and conditions under given constraints.

CLL231 Semester-II 2025

1. Water flows steadily from the large open tank shown in Fig. P3.68. If viscous effects are
negligible, determine (a) the flowrate, Q, and (b) the manometer reading, h.

2. An inviscid liquid drains from a large tank through a square duct of width b as shown in Fig 2
below. The velocity of the fluid at the outlet is not precisely uniform because of the difference
in elevation across the outlet. If this difference in velocity is negligible. For given b and h,
determine as a function of x and integrate the results to determine the average velocity,
V= Q/b2. How small must b be if the center line velocity, v at x=b/2, is to be within 5% of
the average velocity?

3. Air is drawn into a wind tunnel used for testing automobiles as shown in Fig. P3.48. (a)
Determine the manometer reading, h, when the velocity in the test section is 60 mph. Note
that there is a 1-in. column of oil on the water in the manometer. (b) Determine the difference
between the stagnation pressure on the front of the automobile and the pressure in the test
section.

5. As a valve is opened, water flows through the diffuser shown in Fig 4, at an increasing
flowrate so that the velocity along the centerline is given by 𝑉 = 𝑢𝚤̂ = 𝑉 (1 − 𝑒 )(1 − )𝚤̂
where V0, c and l are constants. Determine the acceleration as a function of x and t.
If V0 = 10 ft/s and l = 5 ft what value of c (other than c = 0) is needed to make the
acceleration zero for any x at t = 1. Explain how the acceleration can be zero if the flowrate is
increasing with time.

6. A Pitot-static tube is used to measure the velocity of helium in a pipe. The temperature and
pressure are and 25 psia. A water manometer connected to the Pitot-static tube indicates a
reading of 2.3 in. Determine the helium velocity. Is it reasonable to consider the flow as
incompressible? Explain
