    1) Given fluid flowing from a nozzle into a large circular tank, the relationships between velocity (V1, V2, V3), diameter (d, D, j) at different points were derived. It was shown that V2 = (d2/D)√2gh and V2 = (j2/D)V3. 2) For D=5m, j=0.25m, it was shown that V3 ≈ 2√g by applying Bernoulli's equation. 3) Given j=3/2d, it was shown that the relationship between V1 and V3 is V3 = 4/9V1.

    Fluid Mechanics Question and solutions

    Water steadily flows from a nozzle into a large circular tank of diameter, 𝑫 as shown in Figure 1. Given that the
    fluid velocity at point (1), 𝑽𝟏 = 𝟐𝒈
    √ , where ℎ is the height of fluid exiting into the horizontal jet stream of
    diameter, 𝒅. The fluid exits the large tank through another jet stream at point (3) with diameter, 𝒋.

    i. By applying relevant fluid dynamic equations, show that

    𝒋𝟐 𝒅𝟐
    𝑽𝟐 = ( ) . 𝑽𝟑 = ( ) . √𝟐𝒈𝒉
    𝑫 𝑫
    Solution:

    Since the fluid level within the tank remains at 3m. This is possible only when Q is discharge at 1, 2
    and 3 which will be equal, therefore;

    We know from previous knowledge that flow rate (Q) equal to area of cross-section(m¿¿ 2)¿ times
    flow speed (V)

    d 2 d
    Q=π
    2 ()
    V , This applies for both Q1 ,Q2 ∧Q3respectively. Note that A=π ()
    2

    Using Q1=Q2 =Q 3

    A 1 V 1= A 2 V 2 = A 3 V 3

    d 2 D 2 j 2
    π ()
    2
    V1= π
    2 ( )
    V 2=π
    2 ()
    V3

    by simplifying we get; d 2 V 1=D2 V 2 = j 2 V 3……Equ1

    From equation 1 we can see that,

    D 2 V 2= j 2 V 3 D 2 V 2=d 2 V 1

    j 2 d 2
    V 2= ( )D
    V ….. Equ2
    3
    V 2= ( )
    D
    V ….. Equ3
    1

    We can now equate equation 2 and 3

    J 2 d 2
    V 2= ( )D
    .V =
    3 D( )V1 sub V 1=√ 2 gh
    J 2 d 2
    V 2=
    D( ).V =
    3 D ( )
    √ 2 gh …….proved

    ii. Given that 𝑫 = 𝟓 𝒎, 𝒋 = 𝟎. 𝟐𝟓 𝒎, show that 𝑽𝟑 .

    Solution: Using Bernoulli’s equation we know that P1=¿ P =0 ¿ 2

    1 1
    ∴ P 1+ ρ V 22+ ρgh2= P2+ ρ V 23+ ρgh3 …………. P1∧P2 are canclled out
    2 2

    1 1
    ρ V 22+ ρgh2= ρ V 23+ ρgh 3…………. group liked terms and factorize
    2 2

    1
    ρg ( h2 −h3 )= ρ ( V 23−V 22 )………… divide both side by 𝞺
    2

    (V 23 −V 22 )
    g ( h2−h3 )=
    2

    From the figure below; h2 =3 m∧h3=1 m

    ∴ g ( 3−1 ) =
    ( V 23−V 22 )
    2

    (V 23−V 22) …...multiply both sides by 2


    2 g=
    2

    4 g=V 23 −V 22 ……equ.4

    J 2
    From equation 2. V 2= ( )
    D
    V ,
    3
    sub j = 0.25m and D = 5m
    0.25 2 V
    V 2= ( )

    V ¿ 3 ………. equ.5

    V3
    Substitute in equation 4
    400

    2 2
    V3 V3
    4 g=V 23 − ( )
    400
    We can neglect ( ) leaving us with…..
    400

    4 g ≅ V 23 ………..square both sides of the equation

    ∴ V3≅2√ g

    iii. Given that 𝒋 = 𝟑/𝟐𝒅, show that 𝑽𝟑 = 𝟒/𝟗𝑽𝟏;

    Earlier in equation 1 we can recall that

    d 2 V 1= j 2 V 3 Substitute j = 3/2 𝒅 in the equation and simplify

    3 2 2
    2
    ∴ d V 1= ()
    2
    d V 3 ….. simplify

    9 2
    d 2 V 1=() 4
    d V3

    9
    V 1= V 3 Solve for V 3 by multiplying both sides by 4 and then divide by 9.
    4

    4
    V =V 3
    9 1

    Note: The flowrate, Q, entering the large tank is such that the fluid level within it remains at 3 𝑚.
