Water is being discharged through a 6-in-diameter pipe directly into a container that has a
volume of 200.0 ft3. Find the rate and velocity of flow through the pipe if the time required to fill
the container is 3 min and 21.2 s.
2. A pitot tube being sued to determine the velocity of flow of water in a closed conduit indicates a
difference between water levels in the Pitot tube and in the piezometer of 48 mm. What is the
velocity of flow?
3. Oil discharges from a pipe through a sharp-crested, round orifice. The coefficients of contraction
and velocity are 0.62 and 0.98, respectively. Find the discharge from the orifice and the
diameter and actual velocity in the jet.

4. Water flows through a Venturi meter as shown in the figure. Determine the discharge coefficient
of the Venturi meter if the discharge is determine to be 2.12 cfs.

5. Water flows upward through a vertical 12-in by 6-in Venturi meter whose coefficient is 0.980.
The differential gage deflection is 3.88 ft of liquid of specific gravity 1.25. Determine the flow in
cfs.

6. A turbine is rated at 600 hp when the flow of water through it is 0.61 m 3/sec. Assuming an
efficiency of 87%, what is the head acting on the turbine?
7. Water enters a motor through a 600-mm diameter pipe under a pressure of 14 kPa. It leaves
through a 900-mm diameter exhaust pipe with a pressure of 4 kPa. A vertical distane of 2.5
separates the centers of two pipes at the sections where the pressures are measured. If 500 liters
of water pass the motor each second, compute the power supplied to the motor.
8. A pipe carrying oil of specific gravity 0.877 changes in size from 150 mm at section 1 and 450
mm at section 2. Section 1 is 3.6 m below section 2 and the pressure are 90 kPa and 60 kPa
respectively. If the discharge is 150 lit/sec, determine the head lost and direction of flow.

9. Water flows through an orifice at the vertical side of a large tank under a constant head of 2.4 m.
How far horizontally from the vena contracta will the jet strikes the ground 1.5 m below the
orifice?

10. A large cylindrical steel tank 4 m high with its bottom on a level ground contains two layers of
liquid. The bottom layer is water 2 meters deep. The top layer is occupied by a liquid whose
specific gravity is not known to a depth of 1 meter. A 50 mm diameter orifice with a coefficient of
velocity of 0.98 is situated one meter from the bottom of the tank. The jet from the orifice hits the
ground 2.75 m horizontally away from the vena contracta. Determine the specific gravity of the
liquid at the top layer.
