Example 6.18: the closed tank of a fire engine is partly
filled with water, the air space above being under
pressure. A 6 cm bore connected to the tank discharge
on the roof of building 2.5 m above the level of water in
the tank. The friction losses are 45 cm of water.
Determine the air pressure which must be maintained in
the tank to deliver 20 lit/sec. on the roof.
Solution: Data: Diameter of hose pipe d = 6 cm = 0.06 m
Friction, hf = 45 cm = 0.45 m

pump delivers 12 kw of power to the flow? Assume the
losses in the system to be negligible.

inlet pump is negligible and between the pump and the
point M, loss equal to 1.8 times the velocity head at B
takes place.

Example 6.25: Fig. shows a pump drawing a solution


(specific gravity =1.8) from a storage tank through an 8
cm steel pipe in which the flow velocity is 0.9 m/s. The
pump discharges through a 6 cm steel pipe to an
overhead tank, the end of discharge is 12 m above the
level of the solution in the feed tank. If the friction
losses in the entire piping system are 5.5 m & pump
efficiency is 65 percent, determine:

in the sump and has a pressure of 20 cm of mercury
at the suction side. The suction pipe is 20 cm
diameter and the delivery pipe is short 25 cm
diameter pipe ending in a nozzle of 8 cm diameter. If
the nozzle is directed vertically upward at an
elevation of 4.2 m above the water sump level,

Example 11.5: In a pipe of diameter 100 mm, the


velocities at the pipe center and 30 mm from the pipe
center are found to be 2.5 m/s and 2.2 m/s respectively.
Find the wall shearing stress.
Solution: Data - radius R= 50 mm = 0.05 m
𝑚
Velocity 𝑢ₘₐₓ = 2.5
𝑠
Velocity at 30 mm from the center = 2.2 m/s

Wall shearing stress, τ₀:

𝑢ₘₐₓ−𝑢 𝑅
= 5.75 log10 (𝑌 )
𝑢𝑓
Where, 𝑢ₘₐₓ= maximum velocity in pipe
𝑢 = velocity at some distance from pipe
𝑢𝑓 = shear frictional velocity
R = radius of pipe
Y= distance from the pipe

Now, from relation:

Where, τ₀ = shearing stress

Example 11.11: In a pipe of diameter 300 mm the


center-line velocity and the velocity at a point 100
mm from the center, as measured by pitot tube, are
2.4 m/s and 2.0 m/s respectively. Assuming the flow
in the pipe to be turbulent, find:
(i) Discharge through the pipe,
(ii) Co-efficient of friction, and
(iii) Height of roughness projections.
Solution: Diameter of pipe, D = 300 mm = 0.3 m
Radius of pipe R= 300/2 = 150 mm = 0.15 m
Center-line velocity, 𝑢ₘₐₓ= 2.4 m/s
(i) Discharge through the pipe, Q:
𝑢ₘₐₓ−𝑢 𝑅
= 5.75 log10 (𝑌 )
𝑢𝑓
Where, 𝑢ₘₐₓ= maximum velocity in pipe
𝑢 = velocity at some distance from pipe
𝑢𝑓 = shear frictional velocity
R = radius of pipe
Y= distance from the pipe
