Water at a pressure of 200 kPa at street level flows into a house building at a velocity of 0.86 m/s through a pipe of 2.7 cm inside diameter. However, the pipe's inside diameter reduces to 1.2 cm on the second floor, which is located at a height of 9 m. The density of water is 1000 kg/m' and the gravity, g is 9.81 m/s. By neglecting all energy losses, (a) Calculate the velocity of water on the second floor. (b) Estimate the pressure of water on the second floor.

Water passes under a sluice gate in a horizontal rectangular channel of width 2.0 m. The depths of flow on either side of the sluice gate are 1.8 m and 0.3 m. Assuming no energy loss at the gate, calculate the force on the gate
A vertical cylindrical tank has an orifice for its outlet. When the water surface in the tank is 5 m above the orifice, the water surface can be lowered 4 m in 20 minutes, the pressure on the water surface being atmospheric. What uniform pressure must be applied to the water surface if the same volume of water is to be discharged in 10 minutes?Show Diagram/Figure

A 3-m-diameter tank is initially filled with water 2 m above the center of a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and the orifice drains to the atmosphere through a 100-m-long pipe. The friction coefficient of the pipe is taken to be 0.015 and the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor can be neglected. In order to drain the tank faster, a pump is installed near the tank exit as in fig . Determine how much pump power input is necessary to establish an average water velocity of 4 m/s when the tank is full at z = 2 m. Also, assuming the discharge velocity to remain constant, estimate the time required to drain the tank. Someone suggests that it makes no difference whether the pump is located at the beginning or at the end of the pipe, and that the performance will be the same in either case, but another person argues that placing the pump near the end of the pipe may cause cavitation. The water temperature is 30°C, so the water…
Compute the energy loss that would occur as 27 gal/min of water flows from a tank into a steel tube with an OD of 3.0 in and wall thickness of .025 in. The tube has a rounded inlet of radius (r) of .118 in.
In the expanding pipe system with a circular cross section given in the figure, the fluid moves from point A to point B with a flow rate of 0.2 m3/s. Since the pressure height at point A is 7 m, and the energy loss during movement is 0.1 m, find the pressure height at point B and draw the energy line of the system on the figure.
