CVE 303

1. Consider three pipes of diameter 300mm, 200mm and for 400mm and lengths 450m,
255m and 315m respectively are connected in series. The difference in water level, in two
tanks is 18m. determine the rate of flow of water if coefficient of frictions is: 0.0075, 0.0078
and 0.0072 respectively. When:
i. minor losses are considered. ii. Neglecting minor losses in pipes

2. In a flowing stream a turbulence occurred in a cross section 4.5m wide in which the rate
of flow is 15m3/s. If the depth of water before the jump occurs is 0.25m
i. The depth after the jump has taken place. ii. The specific energy of the water before and
after the jump.
(iii). The loss of power due to the jump. (IV). Determine the Froude numbers before and
after the jump.
3. A wooden block of width 1.25m, depth 0.75m and length 3.0m is floating in water.
Specific weight of the wood is 6.4KN/m3 Find i. volume of water displaced. ii.
Position of centre of buoyancy.

4. What are the measures to be taken to minimize losses in pipe lines.


5. Calculate the head loss and hence pressure drop when water flows at a rate of 20litres/s
through a 100mm diameter pipe of length 1km. use f = 0.02
6. A pipeline ABC connecting two reservoirs is 80mm in diameter. From A to B the pipe is
horizontal as shown in the image bellow. and from B to C, it falls by 3.5m. the lengths AB and
BC are 25m and 15m respectively. If the water surface in the reservoir at A is 4m above the
centre line of the pipe and at C, 1m above the line of the pipe, calculate:
(I). The rate of flow and neglect the loss at the bend but consider all other losses.
(ii). Draw the energy hydraulic gradient lines. Take Darcy friction factor = 0.024 and K
entrance = 0.5. Ex 12.18
7. Show that loss of head due to sudden enlargement of pipe network is given by;
He = (V1- V2)/2g.
8. Consider a pipe network of diameter 250mm and length 65m water is flowing at a velocity
of 2.3m/s find the head loss due to friction by;
1. Darcy-weisbach formula
2. Chezy’s formula with C = 35. Assume kinematic viscosity of water as 0.012 stoke
(Ex 12.1)
9. Describe the analytical method of determining metacentric height.
10. Two sharp ended pipes of diameters 40mm and 80mm respectively, each of the length
80m respectively are connected in parallel between two reservoirs which leave a difference
of level of 8m. if the friction factor for each pipe is 0.32. Calculate;
(i). Rate of flow for each pipe
(ii). The diameter of a single pipe 80m long which would give the same discharge, if it were
substituted for the original two pipes.
11. A horizontal pipe line of 40m long is connected to a water tank at one end and
discharges freely into the atmosphere at the other end. For the first 25m of its length from
the tank the pipe is 150mm diameter and its diameter is suddenly enlarged to 300mm. The
height of water level in the tank is 8m above the centre of the pipe. Considering all losses of
head which occur. (Ex.12.6)
i). Determine the rate of flow.
ii). Draw the hydraulic gradient and energy gradient lines. Take f = 0.01 for both sections of
the pipe.
