Quiz 2

Name: _______________________

1. For Laminar flow conditions, what minimum size of pipe will deliver 6 liters of medium oil having
a kinematic viscosity of 6.10 x 10^-6 m^2/s?
2. A tank used to store commercial oil (ρ = 850 kg/m^3; ѵ = 0.0020 m^3/s) is 15 m in diameter and
contains 1000 m^3 of oil. A 20 cm pipe 50 m long connected to the bottom of the tank has its
discharge end 6 m below the bottom. A gate valve (Ky = 0.20 when fully opened) is located near
the discharge end. Find the laminar flow in the pipe when the valve is fully opened. Check the
Reynolds number Re.
3. Compute the lower critical velocity” for 10 cm pipe carrying heavy oil where ρ = 895 kg/m^3 and
ѵ = 4.46 x 10^-5 m^2/s.
4. Determine the discharge of water through a 5 cm wrought-iron pipe if the frictional loss is 80
KPa per 30 m of pipe.
5. What diameter of smooth concrete pipe 100 m long will carry 1.4 m^3/s between two reservoirs
under a head of 1 m, both ends of the pipe having a sharp-corner and submerged?
6. Oil with specific gravity of 0.902 flows through 1.2 m long of 6.35 mm glass tubing with a head
loss of 16.5 cm of oil. The measured discharge is 6.8 x 10^-7 m^3/s. Determine the dynamic
viscosity.
7. Two Pipes with C1 = 120 (Hazen-Williams constant) connected in series, discharge 4.75 ft^3/s
with a loss of head of 27 ft. Each pipe has a length of 1000 ft. If one has a diameter of 18 inches,
determine the diameter of the other, neglecting minor losses.
8. A 15 cm pipe leaves a straight 10 cm pipe at a point A, and later joins it again at point B. The
distance AB on the straight 10 cm pipe is 700 m. How long will the 15 cm pipe have to be in
order that the flow in two pipes maybe the same? Assume f = 0.02 and neglect minor losses.
9. A pipeline 7600 m long and 1.5 m diameter supplies 8 nozzles (Cv = C = 0.95) with water from a
reservoir 180 m above the nozzles. Each nozzle has a tip diameter of 7.5 cm. Assuming f = 0.017,
find the aggregate power available in the jets.
10. A pump is used to raise water to a reservoir through 800 m of 20 cm diameter pipe with f =
0.033. If the pipe is to be replaced with a new one having the same length but with a diameter
of 25 cm and f = 0.022, determine the power saved if the flow is to be maintained at 70 liters/s.
