Question
A fluid of unknown density is used in two manometers—one sealed-end, the other across an orifice in a water pipeline. The readings shown here are obtained on a day when the barometric pressure is 756 mm Hg.
a=5.23m
b=0.2m
What is the pressure drop (mmHg) across the orifice from point a to point b? in mmHg

- Suppose that exactly half of the annular volume between concentric, horizontal cylinders is filled with a liquid and half with a gas, as shown below on the left. When the inner cylinder is rotated at an angular velocity , it is found that one interface rises to a height H above the other. The gap between the cylinders is sufficiently thin (W<< R) that local Cartesian coordinates can be used, as shown on the right. (For clarity, the gap width is exaggerated on the left.) All of the following questions concern flow in the liquid, which is Newtonian with constant properties. g R+W Gas Ω Liquid R H y Enlargement of liquid-filled gap X W ΩR Fixed (a) Assuming steady, fully developed flow, determine Vx(y) in the liquid in terms of dp/dx. (At this point, dp/dx is unknown.) (b) Relate dIP/dx in the liquid to H. You can assume that the absolute pressure in the gas is nearly constant (P = Po) and that surface tension is negligible.

- Water at 25°C is flowing in a 26 cm commercial steel pipe. The total length of the pipe is 1416m. If a head of water of 11.3 m is available to overcome the friction loss, what should be the volumetric flow rate of the water flowing in the pipe in m3/hour? Use density data from Handbook, viscosity = 1cP. The flow is turbulent. In 2 decimal values. Show the complete solution. No need to draw the problem.
