QUESTION 1
Water jets out of the pipe nozzle as shown in
Fig.1. Neglect head losses. Find the height that
water will reach above the nozzle (i.e. the
distance h), for an ideal fluid.
Hint:
- This problem requires a combination of Wenk:
conservation of mass and -energy with
basic scientific principles; think about
equations of motion.

VRAAG 1
Water spuit uit die pyp en spuitstuk soos
getoon in Fig.1. Ignoreer drukverliese. Vind
die hoogte wat die water bokant die spuitstuk
sal uitspuit (d.i. die afstand h), gegewe ideale
vloei.
- In hierdie probleem moet behoud van
massa en -energie in kombinasie met
basiese wetenskap toegepas word;
dink ook aan bewegingsvergelykings.

 QUESTION 2 Specific Gravity VRAAG 2

The tank in Fig. 2 is ejecting gasoline (SG = 0.68)
at 42 N/s and admitting water at 110 N/s. If all
three fluids are incompressible, (a) how much air
is passing through the vent (in m3/s) and in which
direction (b) what is the mass flow rate of air?
-Discharge of the Air coming out
Die tenk in Fig. 2 laat petrol (SG = 0.68) uit teen
42 N/s and laat water in teen 110 N/s. Indien al
drie vloeistowwe onsamepersbaar is hoeveel lug
beweeg deur die luggat (in m3/s) en in watter
rigting?

SG = 0.68

QUESTION 3
Consider the reservoir and pipe outlet shown in
Fig.3. Assume that the reservoir surface area at
section 1 is relatively large compared to the pipe
cross section at 2. The system is open to
atmosphere at sections 1 and 2. Assume that the
system is filled with an ideal fluid; ignore energy
losses and calculate:
a) The flow velocity at the exit at section 2
b) The discharge at the exit.
VRAAG 3
Beskou die reservoir en pypuitlaat getoon in
Fig.3. Aanvaar dat die area van die reservoir by
snit 1 relatief groot is in vergelyking met die
pypdeursnit by 2. Die stelsel is oop na atmosfeer
by snitte 1 en 2. Aanvaar dat die stelsel gevul is
met 'n ideale vloeistof; ignoreer energieverliese
en bereken:
a) Die vloeisnelheid by die uitlaat by snit 2
b) Die vloeitempo by die uitlaat.

h = 4m; x = 1.5m; y = 2m; z = 2.5m; ρwater = 1000 kg/m³

-Assume datum is along this line
