1. For the shown figure below,calculate the elevation of the left tank that would be required in
order for the turbine to generate a 20 m head and then draw the EGL and HGL.

A pump draws water through a 20-cm suction pipe and discharges it through a 10-cm pipe in
which the velocity is 3 m/s. The 10-cm pipe discharges horizontally into air at point C. To what
height h above the water surface at A can the water be raised if 35 kW is delivered to the pump?
Assume that the pump operates at 60% efficiency and that the head loss in the pipe between A
and C is equal to

Determine: (a) the flow rate, Q, and (b) the manometer reading, h.

Calculate the horsepower that
the pump supplies to the water if there is a differential reading of 0.9m of mercury in U-tube
manometer.

5. A Venturimeter is used for measuring flow of water along a pipe. The diameter of the Venturi
throat is two fifths the diameter of the pipe. The inlet and throat are connected by water filled
tubes to a mercury U-tube manometer. The velocity of flow along the pipe is found to be 2.5H
m/s, where H is the manometer reading in meters of mercury. Determine the loss of head
between inlet and throat of the Venturi when H is 0.49m.

6. A weir of trapezoidal cross section is used to measure the flow rate in channel as shown in
figure. Derive an expression for the discharge, then find the value of Q for the case where
H =L =1 m .
