A pipe line of 0.8m diameter is 1.8Km long. To increase the discharge,
another line of same diameter is introduced parallel to the first in the
1 1 AP 10
second half of the length. Neglecting minor losses, find the increase in
discharge, if 4f=0.04.The head at the inlet is 400mm.
The efficiency () of the fan depends on ρ (density), μ (viscosity) of the
fluid, ω (angular velocity), d (diameter of rotor) and Q (discharge).
2 1 AP 15
Express η in terms of non-dimensional parameters. Use Buckingham’s Π
theorem.
Using Buckingham’s π – theorem, show that the velocity through a circular
orifice is given by

3 1 AP 15
where H is the head causing flow, D is the diameter of the orifice, μ is co-
efficient of viscosity, ρ is the mass density and g is the acceleration due to
gravity.
