    Use of Control Volume Approach


    1. Water enters a cylindrical tank through two pipes at rates of 250 and 100 gal/min. If the
    level of the water in the tank remains constant, calculate the average velocity of the flow
    leaving the tank through an 8-in. inside-diameter pipe.

    Figure 1

    2. Two rivers merge to form a larger river as shown in Fig. 2. At a location downstream from
    the junction1 before the two streams completely merge2, the non-uniform velocity profile is
    as shown and the depth is 6 ft. Determine the value of V.

    Figure 2

    3. A 10-mm diameter jet of water is deflected by a homogeneous rectangular block (15 mm by


    200 mm by 100 mm) that weighs 6 N as shown in Fig. 3. Determine the minimum volume
    flowrate needed to tip the block.

    Figure 3
    4. Determine the anchoring force required to hold in place the conical nozzle attached to the
    end of the laboratory sink faucet shown in Fig.4 when the water flowrate is 10 gal/min. The
    nozzle weight is 0.2 lb. The nozzle inlet and exit inside diameters are 0.6 and 0.2 in.,
    respectively. The nozzle axis is vertical and the axial distance between sections (1) and (2) is
    1.2 in. The pressure at section (1) is 68 psi.

    Figure 4

    5. Water enters the horizontal, circular cross-sectional, sudden contraction nozzle sketched in
    Fig.5 at section (1) with a uniformly distributed velocity of 25 ft/s and a pressure of 75 psi.
    The water exits from the nozzle into the atmosphere at section (2) where the uniformly
    distributed velocity is 100 ft/s. determine the axial component of the anchoring force
    required to hold the contraction in place.

    Figure 5

    6. A Pelton wheel vane directs a horizontal, circular cross sectional jet of water symmetrically
    as indicated in Fig.6. The jet leaves the nozzle with a velocity of 100 ft/s. Determine the x
    direction component of anchoring force required to (a) hold the vane stationary, (b) confine
    the speed of the vane to a value of 10 ft/s to the right. The fluid speed magnitude remains
    constant along the vane surface.
    Figure 6

    7. Water enters a rotating lawn sprinkler through its base at the steady rate of 16 gal/min as
    shown in Fig. 7. The exit cross sectional area of each of the two nozzles is and the flow
    leaving each nozzle is tangential. The radius from the axis of rotation to the centerline of
    each nozzle is 8 in. (a) Determine the resisting torque required to hold the sprinkler head
    stationary. (b) Determine the resisting torque associated with the sprinkler rotating with a
    constant speed of 500 rev min. (c) Determine the angular velocity of the sprinkler if no
    resisting torque is applied.

    Figure 7

    8. Air flows past an object in a pipe of 2-m diameter and exits as a free jet as shown in Fig. 8.
    The velocity and pressure upstream are uniform at 10 m/s and respectively. At the pipe exit
    the velocity is nonuniform as indicated. The shear stress along the pipe wall is negligible. (a)
    Determine the head loss associated with a particle as it flows from the uniform velocity
    upstream of the object to a location in the wake at the exit plane of the pipe. (b) Determine
    the force that the air puts on the object.

    Figure 8

    9. A snowplow mounted on a truck clears a path 12 ft through heavy wet snow, as shown in
    Figure 9. The snow is 8 in. deep and its density is 10 lb m/ft3. The truck travels at 30 mph. The
    snow is discharged from the plow at an angle of 45 from the direction of travel and 45 above
    the horizontal, as shown in Figure P5.70. Estimate the force required to push the plow.
