2- Water flows through a pipe reducer as is shown in Fig. The static pressures at (1) and
(2) are measured by the inverted U-tube manometer containing oil of specific gravity,
SG, less than one. Determine the manometer reading, h.
3- Kerosene flows through the Venturi meter shown in Fig. with flow rates between
0.005 and 0.050 m3/s. Determine the range in pressure difference, p1 – p2 needed to
measure these flow rates.

4- Water flows through the horizontal branching pipe shown in figure at a rate of 0.3
m3/s if viscous effects are negligible. Determine the water speed at section (2), the
pressure at section (3), and the flow rate at section (4).
7- Air flows through the device shown in Fig. If the flowrate is large enough, the
pressure within the constriction will be low enough to draw the water up into the
tube. Determine the flowrate, Q, and the pressure needed at section (1) to draw the
water into section (2). Neglect compressibility and viscous effects.

8- Determine the difference in height h of the water column in the manometer if the
flow of oil through the pipe is 0.04 m3/s. Take ρo = 875 kg/m3.
9- Water drains from the fountain cup A to cup B. If the depth in cup B
is h = 50 mm, determine the velocity of the water at C and the
diameter d of the opening at D so that steady flow occurs.
10- Determine the volumetric flow and the pressure in the pipe at A if the height of the
water column in the Pitot tube is 0.3 m and the height in the piezometer is 0.1 m.

12- The pump draws water from the large reservoir A and discharges it at 0.2 m3/s at C. If
the diameter of the pipe is 200 mm, determine the power the pump delivers to the
water. Neglect friction losses.
13- Solve previous problem but include a friction head loss in the pump of 0.5 m, and a
friction loss of 1 m for every 5 m length of pipe. The pipe extends 3 m from the
reservoir to B, then 12 m from B to C.
14- Water in the reservoir flows through the 0.2-m-diameter pipe at A into the turbine. If
the discharge at B is 0.5 m3/s, determine the power output of the turbine. Assume the
turbine runs with an efficiency of 65%, and there is a head loss of 0.5 m through the
pipe.
