An oil of density 892 kg/m³ is flowing in a pipe having an internal diameter 5cm. This pipe is connected to another one with diameter 7.5cm which branches into two smaller pipes each one having a diameter of 3.75cm. If the flow rate in the first pipe is 1.388 x 10 m³/s, calculate: a- The mass flow rate in the first pipe and in the branches of the second pipe. b- The average velocity in the first pipe and in the branches of the second pipe.

Consider a rectangular plate of width B = 1m (measured in the direction normal to the plane of this sheet) and negligible thickness, which separates two fluids of densities ρ and ρw. A mass of density ρs is supported by an inextensible rope that passes through a pulley connected to one end of the plate. Consider that ρ = 1.59ρw and ρs = 2.40ρw, where ρw = 1000 kg/m3. Determine the volume that this mass must have for the system to remain in equilibrium, as shown in the figure.

An oil flow rate of 0.012 m³/s is required in an industrial process. The flow system includes a pressure tank pushing the oil through 200 m of new ductile iron pipe (DIP: 15 cm diameter, square-edged entrance) to point "2" (atmospheric pressure) as shown in Figure P3.11.11. The sur face of the fluid in the tank (point "1") is at elevation 100 m and the end of the pipe (point "2") is at elevation 106 m.

A tank contains three liquids, oil with specific gravity of 0.8, Gasoline with specific gravity of 0.9, and Seawater with specific gravity of 1.05. Their depths are 0.5, 0.6 and 0.8 meters respectively. What is the pressure at a depth of 1.2 meters in kg/sq.m.?
Oil is filled within a tall cylindrical tank. A flat disk with a height of 1 cm and with a diameter of 5 cm is placed into the oil. There occurs a narrow spacing of 0.1 mm between the disk and the tank wall. Due to the forces acting on the disk, it moves downward, and after some time, the speed of the disk reaches a terminal velocity. Beyond this moment, measurements reveal that the disk moves 30 cm in 4 seconds. If the oil density is 600 kg/m3and the specific gravity of the disk is 1.5, determine the oil’s viscosity.
