HW04

1)

Oil gusher reaches 300 ft. What is the velocity of the oil at the surface?

2) Gasoline SG = 0.8. What is the velocity of

the water flowing out from the inner tank (in
ft/s)?
Hint: Two fluid problem: Write Bernoulli
equation with the flowing water density;
Calculate pressure difference with gasoline
density

3) In the tank in Fig. 5.28, water is under a layer of

compressed air that is at a pressure of 20 psig. The water
is flowing out through a frictionless nozzle that is 5 ft
below the water surface. What is the velocity of the
water?

4) An oil pump is drawing 35 kW of electric

power while pumping oil with density,
820 kg/ m3 at a rate of 0.1 m3/s. The inlet and
outlet diameters of the pipe are 8 cm and
12 cm, respectively. If the pressure rise of oil
in the pump is measured to be 400 kPa and the
motor efficiency is 88 %, determine the
mechanical efficiency of the pump.
5) In the Venturi meter shown fluid is water, P1
= 20 psia and A2 / A1 = 0.5 .
Pressure at point 2 cannot be less than 0.5 psia
(otherwise cavitation occurs.) At what velocity
V2 will the pressure P2 be exactly 0.5 psi?
