    This document contains 7 questions regarding fluid mechanics and flow through pipes. 1) The first question involves calculating the rate of flow through three pipes connected in series given their diameters, lengths, and friction coefficients, with and without considering minor losses. 2) The second question asks to transform a three pipe system in series to an equivalent single pipe system and determine the equivalent diameter of a single pipe of a given length. 3) The third question involves calculating the increase in discharge when a second line of the same diameter is added in parallel to an existing pipeline. 4) The fourth question asks to calculate the rate of flow and equivalent diameter of a single replacement pipe for two pipes in parallel between reservoirs.

    FLUID MECHANICS

    ASSIGNMENT
    FLOW THROUGH PIPES
    1) Three pipes of diameters 300mm, 200mm and 400mm and lengths 450mm,
    255mm and 315mm respectively are connected in series. The difference in water
    surface levels in two tanks is 18m. Determine the rate of flow of water if co-efficient
    of friction are 0.0075, 0.0078 and 0.0072 respectively considering:
    (i)
    (ii)

    Minor losses also, and


    Neglecting minor losses

    2) A piping system consists of three pipes arranged in series; the lengths of the
    pipes are 1200 m, 750 m and 600 m and diameters 750 mm, 600 mm and 450 mm
    respectively.
    (i)
    (ii)

    Transform the system to an equivalent 450 mm diameter pipe, and


    Determine an equivalent diameter for the pipe, 2550 m long.

    3) A pipeline of 600 mm diameter is 1.5 km long. To increase the discharge another


    line of the same diameter is introduced parallel to the first in the second half of the
    length, If f=0.01 and head at inlet is 300 mm calculate the increase in discharge.
    4) Two sharp ended pipes of diameter 50mm and 100mm respectively, each of
    length 100 m respectively, are connected in parallel between two reservoirs which
    have a difference of level of 10m. If the friction for each pipe is 0.32, calculate:
    (i)
    (ii)

    Rate of flow for each pipe, and


    The diameter of a single pipe 100 m long which would give the same
    discharge, if it were substituted for the original two pipes.

    5) Two reservoirs have a constant difference of level of 70 m and are connected by


    a 250 mm diameter pipe which is 4 km long. The pipe is tapped mid-way between
    the reservoirs and water is drawn at the rate of 0.04 m 3/s. Assuming friction factor
    = 0.04, determine the rate at which water enters the lower reservoir.
    6) A 2500 m long pipeline is used for transmission of power. 120 kW power is to be
    transmitted through the pipe in which water having a pressure of 4000 kN/m 2 at
    inlet if flowing. If the pressure drop over the length of pipe is 800 kN/m 2 and
    f=0.006, find:
    (i)
    Diameter of the pipe, and
    (ii)
    Efficiency of transmission
    7) Explain Hardy Cross method?
