A water tank with a depth of h open to the atmosphere will be discharged through an outlet pipe with a diameter of 1 cm. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3, dynamic viscosity is 0.001 kg/ms. The pipe is 20 m long and there is a pump and a full open angle valve on the pipe. If the pump head supplied by the pump is hp = 2 m, the pressure at the outlet is 150 kPa and the outlet flow rate = 0.001 m3/h, calculate the height h. (Take atmospheric pressure as 100 kPa).
Q1) A pipe line 30 cm in diameter and 3200m long is used to pump up 50 kg/sec. of an oil where its density is 950 kg/m3 and kinematic viscosity equal to 2.1 stokes. The center of the pipe line at the upper end is 40m above that at the lower end. The discharge at the upper end is atmospheric. Find: 1) Pressure at the lower end as a head of water 2) Friction factor f (Darcy coefficient) 3) Reynolds number
A sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at the rate of 0.95 L/s, with an output pressure of 1.55 × 105 Pa. Part (a) The water enters a hose with a 2.7 cm inside diameter and rises 2.1 m above the pump. What is its pressure at this point, in pascals? You may neglect frictional losses. Part (b) The hose then goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.65 m in height, and widens to 6.6 cm in diameter. What is the pressure now, in pascals? You may neglect frictional losses.

The diameter of an open topped tank 1.5 m high increases uniformly from 4.2 m at the base to 6 m at the top. Discharge from the base of the tank takes place through a 75mm diameter pipe which is 3m in length. The pipe discharges the water to the atmosphere 1.5 m below the base of the tank. Initially the tank is filled with water. Take f=0.01. Find the time to empty the tank.
