1. Find the head lost due to friction in a pipe of diameter 0.15 m and length 60 m carrying water at a
velocity of 2.5 m/s, using (i) Darcy-Weisbach formula and (ii) Chezy’s formula for which C = 58. Take
kinematic viscosity of water as 0.012 stoke.
2. A pipe of diameter 0.3 m and length 2000 m carries water at the rate of 0.05 m3/s. Find the head loss in
pipe if coefficient of friction is given by f = [ 0.002 + (0.09 / Re0.5)] and kinematic viscosity of water is
0.012 stoke.
3. A pipe carrying 0.12 m3/s of water suddenly reduces from 0.4 m to 0.2 m diameter. If the loss of head is
0.3 m, then find the coefficient of contraction.
4. A pipe of length 100 m and diameter 200 mm carries water with a velocity of 4 m/s. For the pipe, if
coefficient of friction is f = 0.002, then determine the total head loss in it.
5. Three pipes connected in series have diameters of 0.6 m, 0.5 m and 0.4 m and are of lengths 400 m, 250
m and 200 m, respectively. If these pipes are to be replaced by an equivalent pipe of length 850 m, then
determine its diameter.
