1. A pipe 12.5 cm diameter is used to transport oil of relative density 0.75 under a
pressure of 1 bar. If the total energy relative to a datum plane 2.5 m below the centre
of pipe is 20 Nm/N (or J/N or m), work out the flow rate of oil.
2. A horizontal water pipe of diameter 15 cm converges to 7.5 cm diameter. If the
pressures at the two sections are 400 kPa and 150 kPa, respectively. Calculate the
flow rate of water.
3. An oil of specific gravity 0.85 and viscosity 3.8 poise flows in a 5 cm diameter
horizontal pipe at the rate of 4 liter per second. Comment whether the flow is laminar
or turbulent. Also, determine the velocity for the flow changing into turbulent flow.
4. Two fixed parallel plates kept 8 cm apart have laminar flow of oil between them with
a maximum velocity 1.5 m/s. Taking dynamic viscosity of oil to be 2.0 Ns/m2.
Compute
(i) The discharge per meter width
(ii) The shear stress at the plates
(iii) Pressure difference between two points 25 m apart
(iv) Velocity at 2 cm from the plate
(v) The velocity at 2 cm from the plate
(vi) The velocity gradient at the plates end.
