Quiz 5: FUNDAMENTAL OF FLUID FLOWS

Reference DESCRIPTION / CALCULATION OUTPUT
Problem 1. Water flows through a 3-in-diameter pipe at a velocity of 10 ft/s. Find
the (a) volume flow rate in cfs and gpm, (b) mass flow rate.

Solution:
Problem 2. Assume the conduit shown in the Figure has (inside) diameters of 12
in and 18 in at sections 1 and 2, respectively. If water is flowing in the
conduit at a velocity of 16.6 ft/s at section 2, find the
(a) velocity at section 1,
(b) volume flow rate at section 1,
(c) volume flow rate at section 2,
(d) weight flow rate, and
(e) mass flow rate.

Problem 3. A gas flows through a square conduit. At one point along the conduit,
the conduit sides are 0.100 m, the velocity is 7.55 m/s, and the gas's
mass density is (for its particular pressure and temperature) 1.09
kg/m3. At a second point, the conduit sides are 0.250 m, and the
velocity is 2.02 m/s. Find the mass flow rate of the gas and its mass
density at the second point?

Solution:
Problem 4. Water flows into a cylindrical tank (as shown in the figure) through pipe
1 at the rate of 25 ft/s and leaves through pipes 2 and 3 at 10 ft/s and
12 ft/s, respectively. At 4 is an open-air vent. Inside pipe diameters are:
D1 = 3 in, D2 = 2 in, D3 = 2.5 in, D4 = 2 in. Calculate
(a) dh/dt;
(b) the average velocity of airflow through vent 4, assuming that the
flow is incompressible.?

Problem 5. The water tank in Figure is being filled through section 1 at v 1 = 5 m/s
and through section 3 at Q3 = 0.012 m3 /s. If water level h is constant,
determine exit velocity v2?
a. If the water level varies and v2 = 8 m/s, find rate of change dh/dt.
Assume d = 1.0m.

6. Water at 20 °C flows steadily through the nozzle as shown in the
figure at 60 kg/s . The diameters are D1 = 220 mm and D2 = 80 mm.

7. The inseminator show in figure contains fluid of s.g. = 1.04. If the
plunger is pushed in steadily at 1.0 in/s, what is exit velocity v 2? Assume
no leakage past the plunger.

8. The tank shown in the figure is admitting water at 100 N/s and
ejecting gasoline (s.g. = 0.69) at 52 N/s. If all three fluids are
incompressible, how much air is passing through the vent? In
which direction?
