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 conical tank with an upper radius of 4 m and a height of 5 m drains into a cylindrical tank with a radius of 4 m and a height of 5 m (see figure). If the water level in the conical tank drops at a rate of 0.5 m>min, at what rate does the water level in the cylindrical tank rise when the water level in the conical tank is 3 m? 1 m?
A water reservoir of 300 (Height) x 300 (width) x 500 (depth) m has its free surface at 250 m above a bottom outlet orifice of 500 mm in diameter. The velocity coefficient of the orifice is 0.96 and the coefficient of contraction of the flow through the orifice is 0.6. Assume that the reservoir has a cubic shape. Q1. Calculate the velcoity of water in the reservoir when it starts to empty (m/s)
Refer to Figure 6.14. Find the flow rate in m3 /s/m length (at right angles to the crosssection shown) through the permeable soil layer given H = 3 m, H1 = 2.5 m, h = 2.8 m, L = 25 m, a = 10°, and k = 0.04 cm/s.
The rectangular channel shown in the following figure has a width of 10 ft and transports water at 19,229 ft3/min. If the elevation of the channel bed drops by 0.75 ft, determine the specific energy (in ft) after the depression. Provide your answer with two decimals. Note: The solution method is the same as for a rise except the Δh term will be negative to account for the depression.

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.
For the two-dimensional flow system shown below (units in meters):Compute the total flow rate under the Dam. X = 4, Y = 8. Note 1: Point A is located in the middle point of the equipotential lines. Point B is located in the middle point of the flow lines.Note 2: Assume e=0.8 (void ratio) and k=10^-3 cm/s (coeff. of permeability).Note 3: Datum is located at the bottom level of the water (right side of Dam).Note 4: Remember, the figure is drawn to scale. So, use the value of 2X+Y to estimate any dimension that you consider necessary.
