Note: You may use the density of water p = 1000 kg/m”, if not provided in the question,
QI Anil pump is drawing 25 kW of electric power while pumping oil with density of 860
kg/m? at a rate of 0.1 m°/s. The inlet and outlet diameters of the pipe are 8 cm and 12 cm,
respectively. If the pressure rise of oil in the pump is measured to be 250 kPa and the
motor efficiency is 90 percent, determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump. Take
the kinetic energy correction factor to be 1.05. (Refer to Figure QU).

Q4 (a) Propose the magnitude and direction of the force required to hold a 45° bend a
rectangular air duct in its position. The inlet and outlet cross sectional area are 1 m? and
0.5 m* respectively. The intensity of pressure and velocity at inlet are 2.943 N/cem* and 10
misec respectively. Take the density of air as 1.16 kg/m’.
(12 marks)
(b) A jet of water of diameter 75 mm moving with a velocity of 25 misee strikes a fixed plate
in such a way that the angle between the jet and plate ig 60°. Find the force exerted by the
jet on the plate in the direction normal to the plate and in the direction of jet. Compute the
resultant force developed,

QS The pressure difference Ap due to turbulent flow, in a pipe of Diameter D and Length ?
depends on the Velocity V, Viscosity 2, Density p and Roughness ¢. Using Buckingham
TI theorem, generate the formula to obtain a dimensionless expression for Ap.

Q6 (a) A certain part of cast iron piping of a water distribution system involves a parallel
section, as shown in Figure Q6, Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 30 om, and the
flow can be assumed to be fully turbulent. One of the branches (pipe A) is 1000 m long,
while the other branch (pipe B) is 3000 m long. If the flow rate through pipe A is
0.4 m’/s, propose the flow rate through pipe B, Disregard minor losses and assume the
water temperature to be 15 °C.
(10 marks)
(6) Prove that the flow in part (a) is fully turbulent, and thus the friction factor is independent
of Reynolds number.
(10 marks)
(The density and dynamic viscosity of water at 15 °C are p = 1000 kg/m? and
10= 1.138 * 10? kg/m.s respectively. The roughness of cast iron pipe is ¢ = 0.00026 m.)
