A slurry behaving as a pseudoplastic fluid is flowing through a smooth round tube having an inside diameter of 5 cm at an average velocity of 8.5 m/s. The density of the slurry is 900 kg/m3 and its flow index and consistency index are n=0.3 and k=3.0Ns0.3/m2. Calculate the pressure drop for 50 m length of vertical pipe with the flow moving against gravity.

A dam releases water into a spillway, and then some distance downstream a hydraulic jump occurs. The dam height is 25 m, the initial depth in the spillway is 1 m, and the hydraulic jump leads to a region of depth 15 m. Upstream of the dam may be considered a reservoir. Determine the average velocity before the jump and whether the jump will occur. If there will be a jump, determine the velocity after the hydraulic jump, neglecting any friction losses.
Water flows over the overflow structure shown in the figure below. Upstream the depth is 6.00 m and the speed of the water is 2.00 m/s. What is the depth downstream? Note that the top surface of the water is at atmospheric pressure.
