A clothes dryer discharges air at 1 atm and 120°F at a rate of 1.2 ft3/s when its 5-in-diameter, well-rounded vent with negligible loss is not connected to any duct.

Take the friction factor of the duct to be 0.019, and assume the fan power input to remain constant.
In a hydroelectric power plant, water at 20°C is supplied to the turbine at a rate of 0.6 m3/s through a 200-m-long, 0.35-m-diameter cast iron pipe.

Two water reservoirs A and B are connected to each other through a 40-m-long, 2-cm-diameter cast iron pipe with a sharp-edged entrance. The pipe also involves a swing check valve and a fully open gate valve. The water level in both reservoirs is the same, but reservoir A is pressurized by compressed air while reservoir B is open to the atmosphere at 95 kPa. If the initial flow rate through the pipe is 1.5 L/s, determine the absolute air pressure on top of reservoir A. Take the water temperature to be 10°C.
Water at 75 degrees Celsius is flowing horizontally at a rate of 1.6 m^3/min in a pipe. It enters a 3-in 45 degree elbow and is diverted upwards into a connecting pipe. The diameter of the outlet is 2in. If the pressure just before the elbow is 78 kPa, determine the magnitude and direction of the force necessary to keep the elbow in place. Assume frictional losses in the elbow are negligible.
Question 2A large vat contains water, which contains a drainage pipe at a height h1, as shown infigure 2. The drainage pipe has a length L. = 0.4 m, and a radius R = 15 mm, and releaseswater to the atmosphere at a flow rate Q. The connection between the pipe and the vatwall has a loss coefficient of KL = 0.8.Point A is in the middle of the tank at a height, hi.You can assume that the flow in the drainage pipe is fully developed and laminar. The density of water is p = 1000 kg/m° and the viscosity is u = 1 mPa.s.
