Final Examination EM201/BV201 Fluid Mechanics 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).

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, (8 marks) 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.

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.
