Water flows inside a solid cylindrical pipe, which narrows as it goes up to a height h (see diagram below). The lower horizontal section has circular cross-sectional diameter d, whereas the upper horizontal section has diameter d/2. Let us denote A to be a point at the lower horizontal section and B to be a point at the upper horizontal section. The flow speed at A and B is uд and u, respectively. The pressure at A and B is PA and PB, respectively. РА UA Oom Ja d d/21 1 UB h (a) Assuming water to be incompressible, show that the flow speed at B is four times the flow speed at A. (b) Use Bernoulli's equation to find the drop in the water pressure from A to B. Express the result in terms of h, uд, the density of water p, and the acceleration of gravity g. (c) Above certain critical height h, vapour bubbles start to appear at the top horizontal section, which hinders water flow through the pipe. Explain why this happens.
Question 1: Water is expelled by a jet to the environment (i.e. the water flow is surrounded by atmospheric pressure). To change the direction of the water flow, this enters to a curved pipe as show in the figure (top view perspective). Calculate the forces exerted by the flow to the pipe in x and y direction (both horizontal). Use a water density of 1000 kg/m³, Q=1 m³/s, diameter d-0.3 m. Follow the 4 steps explained in the lectures and state your assumptions clearly. 30 Question 2: Repeat question 1 but change the curvature from 30 degrees to 90 degrees. How the forces change? 90

Question 8 download image D The water in a large tank exits through a horizontal circular pipe of diameter D=0.01m and length L=94m. The centre of the exit of the pipe is h=1.0m below the water surface. We can assume that the flow entrance to the pipe is smooth so that there are no minor losses. The flow in the pipe is laminar, the friction factor can be assumed constant and can be found from h fD=64/Rep where the Reynolds number is based on the pipe diameter and mean flow speed in the pipe. Taking frictional losses into account, solve the resulting quadratic equation to calculate the speed of the flow out of the pipe. Give your answer in m/s to 2 decimal places. Use: kinematic viscosity given by v=0.00000114 m²/s density of water given by 1000 kg/m3 acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 m/s² A Moving to another question will save this response. >>
The diameter of a pipe changes gradually from 150mm at a point A, which is 6m above datum, to 75mm in diameter at point B, which is 3m above datum. The pressure at A is 103kPa and the velocity of flow is 3.6 m/s. The fluid flowing in the pipe is water. Neglecting losses, determine the pressure at B.
Show complete solution and formulas used. Show the schematic diagram too. Calculate the required pipe diameter to avoid cavitation, if the pump delivers Q = 30US gallon/min water from a closed tank, where the pressure (above the water level) is p = 40kPa. The equivalent length of the smoothened concrete pipe on the suction side is 12m while the suction flange of the pump is 8m below the water level. The vapour pressure at the given water temperature is 2.8kPa. The required net positive suction head is NPSHr = 3.2m.
The diagram shown illustrates the flow in a circular metal duct 20 feet long. The duct has a sudden contraction at the inlet and sudden expansion at the outlet. The diameter of the duct is 10 inches and the flow rate is 600 cfm. The duct is such that both ends have area ratio of 0.6. Thus A2/A1 = A3/A4 = 0.6. Calculate: Total pressure loss in the duct (in. wg.).
Find an expression for the velocity of water leaving the sprinkler. Find an expression for the gauge pressure at point A, a distance L1, upstream of the narrow pipes. Express the answer in terms of the flowrate, Q. The inner diameter of the first segment of the pipe is d1=10mm, the inner diameter of the second set of pipes is d2=1mm, with N=25. The flowrate through the sprinkler is Q=0.2 L/s. Flow in pipes typically becomes turbulent when the Reynolds number exceeds 2000. Comment on the accuracy of the assumption that the flow could be treated as laminar everywhere. May be assumed water has a density of 1000kg/m^3 and a viscosity of 1mPa s.
