S.No. Question
1. Calculate the diameter of a vertical pipe needed for flow of a liquid at a Reynolds
number of 1500, when the pressure remains constant throughout the pipe. Kinematic
viscosity of the fluid = 2 × 10-3 m2/s.
2. The fixed parallel plates kept at 70 mm apart have laminar flow of oil between them
with a maximum velocity 2 m/s. Taking dynamic viscosity of oil to be 19.62 poise,
calculate,
(i) The discharge per meter width
(ii) The shear stress at the plates
(iii) The pressure difference between two points 25 m apart
(iv) The velocity at 20 mm from the plate
(v) The velocity gradient at the plates end
3. Water is to be conveyed at a rate of 250 L/s over a distance of 1.5 km at a head loss
of 15 m. Asphalted C.I. pipe (Ɛs=0.12 mm) is suggested to be used. Taking the
kinematic viscosity of water as 1×10-6 m2/s. Estimate the diameter of the pipe for
this purpose.
4. A reservoir discharges its liquid content through a horizontal pipeline into the
atmosphere. The pipeline consists of two pipes: one of 10 cm diameter and 25 m
long and another of 12 cm diameter and 35 m long, connected in series. The friction
factor f=0.02 for both the pipes. The water level in the tank is 10 m above the centre
line of the pipe at the entrance. Considering all the minor losses, (a) Calculate the
discharge when the 10 cm diameter pipe is joined to the tank (b) Calculate the
discharge when the 12cm dia pipe is joined to the tank (Assume C c=0.70).
5. Considering the laminar flow of a liquid down an inclined plane with a free surface
as half of the flow between two parallel plates, obtain expressions for the velocity
distribution, the mean velocity and the boundary shear stress.
6. Hot water at a temperature of 80oC with a density of 972 kg/m3 and viscosity of 3.5
x10-4 Ns/m2, flows at a rate of 50 m3/hr through a horizontal annulus consisting of
two concentric tubes. The outer tube has an inner diameter of 150 mm and the inner
tube has an outer diameter of 100 mm. Determine the pressure loss due to friction
per unit length if the surface roughness of the tubing is 0.04 mm. Use Moody chart
to obtain the friction factor.
