As you have seen in lectures (and in Lab 3), the height above the pipe centre to which water rises in a piezometer is equal to the pressure head of the flow. Consider water flowing through a sudden contraction in a smooth pipe. If the flowrate in the pipe is 0.025 m³/s, predict the difference in the piezometer readings (Ah). D = 20 cm 5 m Ah D = 15 cm 5 m

Q-4 The apparatus shown in the figure is used to measure the velocity of air at the center of a duct having a 10 cm diameter. A tube mounted at the center of the duct has a 2 mm diameter and is attached to one leg of a slant-tube manometer. A pressure tap in the wall of the duct is connected to the other end of the slant-tube manometer. The well of 10 cm p = 150 kPa the slant-tube manometer is sufficiently large that the elevation of the fluid in it does not change significantly when fluid moves up the leg of T= 20°C the manometer. The air in the duct is at a temperature of 20°C, and the pressure is 150 kPa. The manometer liquid has a specific gravity 30 of 0.7, and the slope of the leg is 30°. When there is no flow in the duct, the liquid surface in the manometer lies at 2.3 cm on the slanted scale. When there is flow in the duct, the liquid moves up to 6.7 cm on the slanted scale. Find the velocity of the air in the duct. Assuming a uniform velocity profile in the duct, calculate the…

A flow rate measuring device is installed in a horizontal pipe through which water is flowing. A U-tube manometer is connected to the pipe through pressure taps located 3 in. on either side of the device. The gage fluid in the manometer has a specific weight of 112 lb/ft3. Determine the differential reading of the manometer corresponding to a pressure drop between the taps of 0.5 lb/in². h = ft

A manometer consists of a tube of 0.5 inch in the inner diameter and an amount of mercury (SG Hg =13.55). On one side of the tube, oil (SG=1.4) was trapped, a bubble formed, and the fluid inside was stationary. The volume of the oil was 0.6 in^3 and the volume of the air was 0.2 in^3. Now, the oil and bubble are removed. The pressure change across the air bubble is negligible and any curvature on the bubble surface can be neglected in calculating the volumes. Determine how much the mercury height rises (i.e. h 4 -h 2 ).
