1. The flow rate of water through a pipe is reported as 20 ft 3/ min. Convert the
volumetric flow rate into the mass flow rate in kg/sec. Density of water is 1 gm/cc.
2. A force equal to 192.6 N is applied on a piston with a diameter of 5 cm. Find the
pressure exerted by the piston in kPa, bar and psi.
W-18
3. Pressure drop across a Venturi scrubber can be calculated using the following
equation, ΔP= (5 * 10-5) v2 L where, ΔP= pressure drop in WC, L= liquid flow rate,
US gal/1000 ft3 gas v = gas velocity in the Venturi throat, ft/s. Convert the equation in
SI units.

6. what is the unit operation and unit process and give a difference between unit operation
and unit process?
7. derived quantities is table 1.2 in si , mks , cgs, fps.
8. The conductance of a fluid flow system is defined as the volumetric flow rate,
referred to a pressure of one torr (133.233 Pa). For an orifice, the conductance C
can be computed from
C=89.2A(T/M)1/2ft3/s where, A = area of opening, ft2, T = temperature, 0R, M = Molar
