A fluid is flowing through a small diameter pipe of radius R1 and length L1. It then expands rapidly into a larger diameter section of radius R2 = 1.5*R1 and length L2 = 3*L1. Neglecting the pressure drop effects at the point of expansion and assuming laminar flow throughout, what is the ratio of the pressure drop in the smaller section of pipe to that in the larger section (i.e. An)?

A pipe inclined at 45° to the horizontal (Fig. 2) converges over a length l of 2 m from a diameterd1 of 200 mm to a diameter d2 of 100 mm at the upper end. Oil of relative density 0.9 flowsthrough the pipe at a mean velocity ?̅1 at the lower end of 2 m/s. Find the pressure differenceacross the 2 m length ignoring any loss of energy, and the difference in level that would beshown on a mercury manometer connected across this length. The relative density of mercury is 13.6 and the leads to the manometer arefilled with the oil.

A 1/4” inside diameter pipe is used to transport SAE 30 motor oil (µ = 0.006266 slug/ft-s and ρ =1.7267 slug/ft3) over a distance of 100 ft. Assuming that the pipe is horizontal and the flow throughit is steady, laminar, and fully-developed, what gauge pressure must a pump develop at the head ofthe pipe to provide a flow rate of sufficient to fill a quart bottle every 5 seconds? [6291 psi] Whatis the Reynolds number (based on diameter) for this flow? [112.5] Is the assumption of laminar flowreasonable?
The viscous sublayer (Fig. 6.9) is normally less than1 percent of the pipe diameter and therefore very difficult toprobe with a finite-sized instrument. In an effort to generatea thick sublayer for probing, Pennsylvania State Universityin 1964 built a pipe with a flow of glycerin. Assume a smooth12-in-diameter pipe with V = 60 ft/s and glycerin at 20°C.Compute the sublayer thickness in inches and the pumpinghorsepower required at 75 percent efficiency if L = 40 ft.

A horizontal pipe of diameter 350 mm converges to a diameter of 200 mm. The pipeconveys water with a density of 1 g/cm3. The pressure at the inlet and outlet are 550kPa and270 kPa respectively. Assuming the flow is incompressible and frictionless, estimate themass flow rate through the pipeline, stating the velocity at both the inlet and outlet.
A water tank used for fire fighting is shown in the figure. A fire extinguishing installation was installed by the cast iron pipe (roughness value ε=0.005mm) from the steady, incompressible water flow for pipe length Lpipe=126.2 m and pipe diameter D=106.2 mm. The height of the tank from the pipeline is h= 24.62 meters. A gate valve is placed on the end line of the installation. Accept that the local pressure loss equivalent length of the gate valve is given as Le/D=8.62, neglect other local pressure losses in the pipe line installation. In places 1 and 2 shown in the figure, the pressure is atmospheric pressure. i-Accordingly, calculate the speed, volumetric flow rate and mass flow rate of the water when the gate valve is opened in this installation. Repeat the calculation at least three iteration, if necessary, you can do more iteration.
