Assignment -II

1. A fluid is flowing through a 5 cm diameter pipe at a velocity of 2 m/s. Suddenly it enters


into a larger cross-sectional part of the pipe having a diameter of 10 cm. Determine the
frictional loss due to sudden expansion of the flow area.
2. In a flow system there are 2 globe valves, each equivalent to 200 pipe diameters and a
fitting equivalent to 100 pipe diameters. What will be the total equivalent length of the
piping system if the diameter of pipe is 40 mm and pipe is 200 m long.
3. Orifice meter is installed in a pipeline for measurement of flow rate of water. The pressure
drop across the orifice meter is 10 cm of Hg. Find out the volumetric flow rate in m3/s.
(Diameter of orifice = 25 mm, Diameter of pipe = 50 mm, Coefficient of Orifice = 0.62)
4. A venturimeter is installed in a 25 mm internal diameter pipe. The pressure drop across the
upstream side and throat of the venturimeter is 2 m of water. Determine the volumetric
flow rate of water in m3/s through the pipe line. (Diameter of Throat = 15 mm, Coefficient
of Venturi = 0.98)
5. A orifice meter is used to measure the flow rate of water flowing in a pipeline of 78 mm
I.D . The orifice diameter is 15 mm. Mercury manometer reads 18 cm. The volumetric flow
rate is 719 cm3/s. Determine (i) coefficient of discharge of the meter and (ii) If the pressure
drop is decreased to 9 cm of Hg, what will be the flow rate.
6. A pipe 300 m long has a slope of 1 in 100 and tapers from 1.2 m diameter at high end to
0.6 m diameter at the low end. Water is flowing at a rate of 90 l/s. If the pressure at the
high end is 68.67 kPa, find the pressure at the lower end. Neglect the lossess.
7. A 15kW pump with 80% efficiency is discharging oil of specific gravity 0.85 to a overhead
tank from a storage tank. The surface of the oil in the storage tank from datum line is 5 m
and that in the overhead tank from datum line is 25 m. Both the tanks are open to
atmosphere. If the losses in the piping system are 1.75 m of flowing fluid, calculate the
volumetric flow rate of oil.
8. A flow of 7 lit/s of oil having a specific gravity of 0.91 and a viscosity of 0.124 Pa.s is
pumped through a pipe line 75 mm diameter having a length of 62 m and whose outlet is
3 m higher than its inlet. Calculate the power required for the pump if its efficiency is 60%
9. Find the drop in pressure due to friction in a 60 m long and 25 mm diameter pipe when
water is flowing at a rate of 3 kg/s. If the pressure drop falls by one half, what will the new
flow rate be? (Density of water = 1000 kg/m3 , Viscosity of water = 0.0008 Pa.s)
10. A petroleum product of viscosity 0.5 (mN.s)/m2 and specific gravity 0.7 is pumped through
a pipe of 150 mm inside diameter to a storage tank placed 100 m away. The pressure drop
along the pipe is 70 kN/m2. The pipe line has to be repaired and therefore it is necessary to
pump the liquid by an alternative route which consists of 70 m long 200 mm diameter pipe
followed by 50 m long 100 mm diameter pipe. If the existing pump is capable of developing
a pressure of 300 kN/m2, will it be suitable for use?
11. It is proposed to install a steel pipeline of 200 mm inside diameter to transport 3900 m3 of
oil per day. The pipeline is to be 32 km long and the delivery end is to be 30 m higher than
the intake. If the pressure drop due to friction in the pipeline is estimated to be 5.3 MPa,
determine the power requirement of the pump-motor set. (Data : Density of Oil = 897 kg/m3
and viscosity of oil = 50 mPa.s , overall efficiency of the pump = 60%)
12. 600 cm3/s of water at 47o C is pumped through a 40 mm internal diameter pipe through a
length of 150 m in a horizontal direction and up through a vertical height of 10 m. In the
piping system there is one control valve which may be taken as equivalent to 200 pipe
diameters and other pipe fittings equivalent to 60 pipe diameters. Also in the system there
is a there is a loss in head of 1.5 m of water. What power must be delivered to the pump, if
the pump efficiency is 60%?
