1. A. a water tank is 30 ft in diameter and the normal depth is 25 ft. the outlet is a 4- in.

horizontal
pipe at the bottom. If this pipe is sheared off close to the tank, what is the initial flow rate of
water from the tank? (neglectt friction loss in the short stub of pipe)
B. how long will it tek for the tank to be empty?
C. Calculate the average flow rate and compare it with the initial flow rate.

2. Water at 20C is pumped at a constant rate of 9 m3/ h from a large reservoir resting on the floor
to the open top of an experimental absorption tower. The point of discharge is 5 m above the
floor, and fractional losses in the 50 mm pipe from the reservoir to the tower amount to 2.5
J/kg. at what height in the reservoir must the water level be kept if the pump can develop only
0,1 kW?
3. Laminar flow in a narrow :

a.) A Newtonian fluid is in laminar flow in a narrow slit fromed by two parallel walls a distance
2B part. It is understood that B << W, so that “edge effect” are unimportant.Make a
differential momentum balance, and obtain the following expressions for the momentum-
flux and velocity distributions:

In the expressions :
b. What is the ratio of the average velocity to the maximum velocity for this flow?
c. Obtain the slit analog of the hagen-poiseuille equation,
d. Draw a meaningful sketch to show why the above analysis is inapplicable if B=W
e. How can the result in (b) be obtained from the results of s 2.5?
