    Tutorial II
    Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering
    Department of Mechanical Engineering
    1. An oil of sp.gr=0.85 and viscosity of 2.5 poise is flowing through a 30cm diameter of pipe. The length
    of the pipe is 2.5 km and head loss is 20m. Find out
    a) Shear stress at the pipe wall
    b) Shear stress at τ=10cm from the centre of the pipe
    c) The value of friction factor ‘f’ if the flow is laminar
    2. Explain elaborately the minor losses in the pipe flow. Write down the formulae used to calculate the
    loss of head due to various minor losses.
    3. The rate of flow of water through a horizontal pipe is 350lps. The diameter of the pipe is suddenly
    enlarged from 200mm to 500mm. The pressure intensity in the smaller pipe is 15 N/cm2. Determine i)
    Loss of head due to sudden enlargement ii) Pressure intensity in the larger pipe, iii) Power lost due to
    enlargement.
    4. The pipe in the water main is enlarge suddenly from the diameter of 240 mm to 480 mm and the
    hydraulic gradient rises by 10mm. Estimate the rate of flow. (0.03275m3/s)

    5. Why are the pipes connected in parallel? What is a compound pipe (pipe connected in series)? How
    would you determine the equivalent diameter of compound pipe?
    6. 3pipes of length 800m, 500m, 400m and diameter 500mm, 400mm, and 300mm, respectively are
    connected in series. These pipes are to be replaced by a single pipe of length 1700m. Find the diameter
    of single pipe.
    7. For laminar flow of an oil having dynamic viscosity µ=1.766 Pa.s in a 0.3 m diameter pipe, the
    velocity distribution is parabolic a maximum point velocity of 3m/s at the centre of the pipe.
    Calculate the shearing stresses at the pipe wall and within the fluid 50mm from the pipe wall. (Ans:
    70.64 Pa, 47.09Pa)
    8. The rate of flow of water through a horizontal pipe is 0.25 m3 /sec The pipe of diameter 200mm is
    suddenly enlarged to a diameter of 400mm, pressure intensity in the smaller pipe is 11.772 N/cm2 .
    Determine:
    • Loss of head due to sudden enlargement (Ans: 1.816 m of water)
    • Pressure intensity in the larger pipe, (129.590kN/m2)
    • Power lost due to enlargement. (4.453kW)
    9. 150mm diameter pipe reduces in diameter abruptly to 100mm diameter. If the pipe carries Water at 30
    liters per second, calculate the pressure loss across the contraction. Take the coefficient of contraction
    as 0.6. (P1-P2=9090 N/m2)
    10. Determine the rate of flow of water through a pipe diameter 20 cm and length 50 m when one end of
    the pipe is connected to a tank and other end of the pipe is open to the atmosphere. The pipe is horizontal
    and the Height of water in the tank is 4 m above the centre of the pipe. Consider all minor losses and
    take f=0.009 in the formula,= 4fLV2/(2gD).(Ans: 0.08589m3/sec)
    11. Water flows upward a vertical 300mm x 500 mm venturimeter with a Cd=0.98. The deflection of
    manometer, filled with a liquid of S=1.25 is 1.18 m. Determine the discharge if the distance between
    the two pressure taping is 457mm. Work the problem from the first principle.
    12. Water is flowing through a pipe of 5cm diameter under a pressure of 29.43 N/cm2(gage) and with a
    mean velocity of 2.0m/s. Find the total head or total energy/unit weight of the water at a cross section
    which is 5m above the datum.
    13. Measurement of discharge with i) Venturi meter ii) Orifice meter, Explain with neat sketch and formula
    used.
    14. A pitot-static tube having a co-efficient of 0.98 is used to measure the velocity of water in a pipe. The
    stagnation pressure recorded is 3m and a static pressure 2m. What velocity does this indicate.
    15. What is hydraulic diameter? Explain the physical significance of the hydraulic diameter.
