(5 marks) ‘Two water reservoirs A and B as shown in Figure QS (b) are connected to each other through a 40 m long, 2 cm diameter cast iron pipe with a sharp-edged entrance. The pipe also involves a swing check valve and a fully open gate valve. The water level in both reservoirs is the same, but reservoir A is pressurized by compressed air while reservoir B is open to the atmosphere at 88 kPa. If the initial flow rate through the pipe is 1.2 Lis, determine the absolute air pressure on top of reservoir A. Take the water temperature to be 10°C. Use Moody Chart for friction factor and the roughness of cast iron pipe is ¢= 0.26 mm. (15 marks) ‘The flow rate Q through an orifice plate is a function of pipe diameter D, pressure drop Ap across the orifice, fluid density p and viscosity 4, and orifice dimeter d. Using D, p and Ap as repeating variables, express this relationship in dimensionless form, (15 marks) ‘The aerodynamic drag of a new sports car is to be predicted at a speed of 80 km/hr at an air temperature of 25°C. Automotive engineers build a one fifth scale model of the car to test in a wind tunnel. It is winter and the wind tunnel is located in an unheated building; the temperature of the wind tunnel air is only about 5°C. Determine how fast the engineers should run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity between the model and the prototype. The density of air at 5° and 25° are 1.269 kg/m? and 1.184 kg/m?, respectively. The viscosity of air at 5° and 25° are 1.754 x 10%kg/ms and 1.849 x 10° kg/m, respectively, (5 marks) - END OF QUESTIONS ~ CONFIDENTIALCONFIDENTIAL BDA20603 FINAL EXAMINATION SEMESTER / SESSION: SEM II /2017/2018 PROGRAMME: BDD COURSE FLUID MECHANICS 1 COURSE CODE; BDA20603.
