7. A conical tube of length 3.0 m is fixed vertically with its smaller end upwards. The velocity of flow at the
smaller end is 4 m/s while at the lower end it is 2 m/s. The pressure head at the smaller end is 2.0 m of
liquid. The loss of head in the tube is 0.95 (v, – v2)³/2g, where v, is the velocity at the smaller end and v,
at the lower end respectively. Determine the pressure head at the lower end. Flow takes place in downward
[Ans. 5.56 m of fluid]
direction.
8. A pipe line carrying oil of specific gravity 0.8, changes in diameter from 300 mm at a position A to
500 mm diameter to a position B which is 5 m at a higher level. If the pressures at A and B are 19.62
N/em? and 14.91 N/cm? respectively, and the discharge is 150 litres/s, determine the loss of head and

9. A horizontal venturimeter with inlet and throat diameters 30 cm and 15 cm respectively is used to
measure the flow of water. The reading of differential manometer connected to inlet and throat is 10 cm
