A vertical 150-mm-diameter pipe leaves a water tank that has a surface elevation of 12m. Between the tank surface and Elevation 0, 3.3 m of head are lost when 0.06 m³/s flows through the pipe. If an open piezometer tube is attached to the pipe at Elevation 0, what will be the elevation of the water surface (in m) Elev 12m Elev ?4 Elev 0 in this tube? not open to atm

Q: Pressure in a pipe carrying oil (Specific Gravity 0.92) is 20 kN/m². A piezometer is connected to…

A: Given data : Pressure (P)=20 KN/m2Specific gravity (S.G)=0.92Density of water (ρWater)=1000 kg/m3

Open Channel Flow

Open channel flow is a branch of fluid mechanics. It deals with the flow of fluid in an open conduit or free surface. In an open channel flow, gravity induces the flow of water whose surface is open to the air. This flow is free-falling rather than confined in rigid body conduits. The open channel flow depends upon two parameters that are the cross-section of the conduit and the velocity profile. Practical examples of open channel flow are streams, rivers, canals, and other drainage systems.In open channel flow, the cross-sectional area of at least one of the sides is exposed to air, and the surface of water faces atmospheric pressure. This flow is also known as free gravity flow. The cross-sectional area of the conduit can be either man-made or a natural channel. For instance, the flow in rivers and streams are natural conduits, and the flow in a canal and sanitary systems are man-made or engineered channels.
