Problem Set #6: Name: Date: Section

This document contains 8 multi-part hydraulics problems involving pipe flow calculations. The problems cover topics like determining discharge and head loss in pipes of varying diameters and lengths given flow velocities, fluid properties, and total head loss. They also involve calculating forces, pressures, and power required for pumping between reservoirs.

PROBLEM SET #6

1. The velocities of flow in a 1-m diameter pipe are 5 m/s on the centerline and 4.85 m/s at
x =100mm. Determine the discharge assuming the flow is turbulent.

2. A liquid having sp.gr. of 0.788 flows at 3.2 m/s through a 100-mm diameter pipeline (f =
0.0158). (a) Determine the head loss per kilometer of pipe and (b) the wall shear stress.

3. In the syringe of the figure shown, the drug had density = 900 kg/m3and μ = 0.002 Pa-s. The
flow through the needle is 0.4 mL/s. Neglect head loss in the larger cylinder.

(a) Determine the velocity at point B in m/s.


(b) What is the Reynolds number for the flow in the needle?
(c) Determine the steady force F required to produce the given flow.

4. Oil, with ρ = 950 kg/m3and ν = 0.00002 m2/s, flows through a 300-mm diameter pipe that is
100m long with a head loss of 8 m. ε/D = 0.0002. Calculate the flow rate.

5. Oil with sp.gr. of 0.95 flows at 200 lit/sec through a 500 m of 200-mm diameter pipe (f =
0.0225). Determine (a) the head loss and (b) the pressure drop if the pipe slopes down at 10 oin
the direction of flow.

6. A pump draws 20 lit/s of water from reservoir A to reservoir B as shown. Assuming f = 0.02
for all pipes, compute the horsepower delivered by the pump and the pressure at points 1 and 2.
