Problem Set 1

The document contains 7 practice problems about flow rate and Bernoulli's equation related to water or air flowing through pipes and nozzles of varying diameters and velocities, asking learners to calculate values like flow rate, pressure, speed, and liquid depth using relationships between pressure, speed, elevation, and other variables in Bernoulli's equation. Learners are asked to illustrate their answers. The problems involve scenarios like water flowing from tanks and nozzles, as well as air flowing through a horizontal nozzle.

PROBLEM SET 1

FLOW RATE & BERNOULLI’S EQUATION

Instruction: Answer the following questions. Illustrate your answers.

1. What is the rate of flow of water passing through a pipe with a diameter of 20mm and speed of
0.50m/s.
2. Water is flowing at a rate of 2m3/s through a tube with a diameter of 1m. If the pressure at this
point is 80kPa, what is the pressure of the water after the tube narrows to a diameter of 0.5m?
3. Suppose that a huge tank 50m high and filled with water is open to the atmosphere and is hit
with a bullet that pierces one side of the tank, allowing water to flow out. The hole is 2m above
the ground. If the hole is very small in comparison with the size of the tank, how quickly will the
water flow out of the tank?
4. A jet of water of 20mm in diameter exits a nozzle directed vertically upwards at a velocity of
10m/s. Assume the jet retains a circular section, determine the diameter of the jet in mm above
the nozzle exit.
5. Air flows steadily and at low speed through a horizontal nozzle, discharging to the atmosphere.
At the nozzle inlet, the area is 0.1m2. At the nozzle exit the area is 0.02m 2. The flow is essentially
incompressible, and frictional effects are negligible. Determine the gauge pressure required at
the nozzle inlet to produce an outlet speed of 50 m/s. (p=1 .23 kg/m3)
6. Water flows in a circular pipe. At one section the diameter is 0.3 m, the static pressure is 260kPa
(gauge). the velocity is 3 m/s, and the elevation is 10 m above ground level. The elevation at a
section downstream is O m, and the pipe diameter is 0.15 m. Find the gauge pressure at the
downstream section if frictional effects may be neglected.
7. Water flows steadily with a speed of 10 ft/s from the large tank shown in the figure. Determine
the depth, H, of the layer of light liquid (specific weight = 50lb/ft 3) that covers the water tank.
