Q1 Water flows steadily through a 2-in-inside-diameter i e at the rate of 2!! gal"min# $he 2 in# i e bran%hes into two 1-in#-inside diameter i es# &f the a'erage 'elo%ity in one of the 1-in# i es is (! ft"s) what is the a'erage 'elo%ity in the other 1-in# i e* Ans 51.7 ft/s Q2 -s shown in Fig 1) at the entran%e to a (-ft-wide %hannel the 'elo%ity distribution is uniform with a 'elo%ity 1# Further downstream the 'elo%ity rofile is gi'en by u2+y2y2) where u is in ft"s and y is in ft# 3etermine the 'alue of 1# Ans. 1.78 Q( $wo Pitot tubes and two stati% ressure ta s are la%e in the i e %ontra%tion shown in Fig# 2# $he flowing fluid is water) and the 'is%ous effe%ts are negligible# 3etermine the two manometer readings) h and H# Ans. h=0; H=0.252 ft
