QUESTION 1
A large circular pipe of diameter 1m is used to supply water to a city. At some stage this
large pipe branches in to two smaller pipes one with 60cm and the other with 40cm.
Determine the mass flow rate of water in the large pipe if the mean flow velocity is 3
m/s. Determine the velocity in 40cm pipe if the average velocity in 60cm diameter pipe
is 2 m/s.
[12M]
QUESTION 2
In a refinery certain oil with sp.gr 0.95 flows through a circular pipe of diameter 45cm.
Along the length at another section, the diameter of the pipe gets reduced to 30cm.
Determine the oil velocity and the mass flow rate at this section if the velocity of the oil
at the inlet is 4m/s.
[11M]
QUESTION 3
Mean velocity of water flowing in circular pipe of 65mm diameter is 3 m/s. The pressure
is 25 N/cm2 at the datum. Determine the total head or total energy per unit weight of
water at a section that is 10m above the datum.
