II. Problem Solving. (Show your Solution)

11. Neglecting air resistance, determine to what height a vertical jet of water could rise if projected with a velocity of
30m/sec.
12-17. A pipeline with ta pump leads to a nozzle as shown in figure 1. Find the flow rate when pump develops an 80
ft. (2.44) head. Assume head. Assume head lost in the 6-inches (152mm) pipe to be five times its velocity head while
the head lost in the 4-inches (102mm) pipe to be twelve times its velocity head. Compute the flow rate (2pts.), sketch
the energy grade line and hydraulic grade line (3pts.), and find the pressure head at the suction side (1pts.)
18-19. A 37.5mm Venturi meter (c=O.975) is installed in a 75-mm-diameter horizontal pipe carrying oil having
specific gravity of 0.852. If the recorded flow in the water was 1.5 liters per second. what could have been the
deflection of water in the differential manometer connected between the inlet and throat? Figure 2
20-21. A Pitot static tube (C=1.0) is used to measure air speeds. Water in the differential manometer and a gage
difference of 75 mm, Calculate the air speed using Density of air =1.16kg/m 3. Figure 3
22. A glass tube with 900 bent is open at both ends. It is inserted into a flowing stream of oil (sp.gr.=0.90) so that one
of the opening is directed upstream and the other is directed upward. If the oil inside the tube is 50mm higher than the
surface upward, determine the velocity measured by the tube. Figure 4
23-24. A vertical rectangular water tank is divided into two chambers whose horizontal sections are 3m 2 and 5m2,
respectively. The dividing wall is provided with a 100mm x100mm square hole located 0.5m from the bottom and
whose coefficient of discharge is 0.60 .Initially there is 5m deep of water in the smaller chamber and 1m deep of
water in the large chamber. What is the difference in the water level in the two chamber after 2 minutes? Figure 5
25. The discharge over a trapezoidal weir is 1.2 m3/s. The crest length is 2m and the sides are inclined at 75 0 57’ 49”
with the horizontal. Find the head on the weir in meters.
26. A spillway controls a reservoir 4.6 hectares in area. The permanent crest is at elevation 75m. If the water can be
drawn from elevation 76.5 to elevation 75.5m in 42 minutes. Find the length of the spillway in meters. Use
Francis formula neglecting velocity of approach. Figure 6
27. A rectangular, sharp-crested weir 15 meter long with end contractions suppressed is 1.5m high. Determine the
discharge when the head is 300 mm.

28-30 Oil having a specific gravity of 0.869 and dynamic viscosity of 0.0814 Pa-s flows through a cast iron pipe at
velocity of 1m/s. The pipe is 50m long and 150mm in diameter. (a) Is it laminar or turbulent? (b) Find the head
lost due to friction, (c) the shearing stress at the walls of the pipe. Figure 7

31-35 Determine the flow in each pipe in figure 7 shown and the elevation of the reservoir A if the inflow to reservoir
