A 30 g/l solution of a fluorescent tracer was discharged into a stream at a constant rate of 12 cm/s. The background concentration of the dye in the stream water was found to be zero. At a downstream section sufficiently far away, the dye was found to reach an equilibrium concentration of 7 parts per billion. Estimate the stream discharge m³/s. (1 ppb = 1x10- 5 g/L)

The flow rate of water through a 10-cm-diameter pipe is to be determined by measuring the water velocity at several locations along a cross section. For the set of measurements given in the table, determine the flow rate.
a) You run an experiment to estimate the water flow rate of the drip irrigation system in the Elon High Tunnel greenhouse. You randomly place 10 small 1-quart paint buckets in the soil along the irrigation system. The table below summarizes the water volume collected in the buckets. The irrigation system was running for 2 hrs. Each bucket has a diameter of 11.2 cm, and volume was measured in milliliters (ml). What is the average drip flow in the irrigation system in inches/hr? (Hint: look up the formula for the area of a circle if you don't already know it).
a. The diameter of a 3 meter pipe decreases from 450 mm to 150 mm. If the velocity is to decrease uniformly in a linear manner, draw the diameter profile at each 500 mm length interval along the pipe. Discharge is 150 liters per second. b. The same venturi meter described in letter a is used to measure the discharge for a length of pipeline that was suspected to have had water stolen through an illegal connection. Before said suspected illegal connection, a mercury difference of 350 mm was observed while a mercury difference of 200 mm was observed afterwards. Estimate the stolen volume of water per day.
The tanks shown in the figure has the form of a frustum of a cone with dimensions as shown. The bottom of the tank contains orifice that has a coefficient of discharge of 0.62. Then the tank contains water to its depth of 3.5m. Find the diameter of the orifice needed to empty the tank in 8 minutes.

With velocity of 10 m/s in the 347 mm diameter pipe in the figure shown, determine the discharge in pipe 3 in m3/s. Assume f = 0.034 for all pipes and neglect minor losses.

Instead of a 0.9 cm diameter water pipe, a 2.3 cm diameter pipe was installed. 8.6 liters of water per second was obtained from the previous water pipe. How fast does the water come out of the new line in liters per second? Other aspects related to water pipes are assumed to remain unchanged.
A calibration test of a 15-mm diameter circular sharp-edged orifice in a vertical side of a large tank showed a discharge of 760 N of water in 60 seconds at a constant head of 6.50 m. Measurement of the jet showed that it traveled 3.20 m. horizontally while dropping 450 mm. Compute for the nearest value of the coeficient of discharge. 0.64027 0.64702 0.67240 0.60724 None of the above
