Two pipes A and B are connected in parallel between two points. Pipe A is 200 m long and has a diameter of 16 cm, pipe B is 150 m long and has a diameter of 12 cm. Both the pipes have the same friction factor of 0.018. A partially closed valve in pipe 'A' causes the discharge in the two pipes to be the same. All other minor losses can be neglected. The value of the valve coefficient is - Valve F = 0.018 L=200m, d-16cm L,=150m, d=12cm B F = 0.018

The connecting pipe has a diameter of b = 0.2m, and the head loss due to friction in the pipe is hyL = 8- Find the time required to fill tank B to 14m depth. (neglect minor losses)
A closed tank contains 0.5 m thick layer of mercury (specific gravity = 13.6) at the bottom. A 2.0 m thick layer of water lies above the mercury layer. A 3.0 m thick layer of oil (specific gravity = 0.6) lies above the water layer. The space above the oil layer contains air under pressure. The gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank is 196.2 kN/ m². The density of water is 1000 kg/m³ and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². The value of pressure in the air space is
