- A two storey building has two faucets, one in the basement and one in the firstfloor. The maximum water (ρ = 1000 kg/m3) velocity at the basement faucet, when the first floor faucet is closed, is 13 m/s. The faucet diameter is 1.5 cm.Neglect all losses. What would be a maximum height (from the basement floor) for a faucet,to still get a maximum exit velocity of 6 m/s?arrow_forwardIn Fig. is shown a plot of pump net head as a function of pump volume flow rate, or capacity. On the figure, label the shutoff head, the free delivery, the pump performance curve, the system curve, and the operating point.arrow_forwardWater flows through an orifice at the vertical side of a closed cylindrical tank. The water level inside the tank remains constant at 3m and the pressure at the top of the tank is 30KPa. If the jet strikes the ground horizontally by 4.5m and below the vena contracta by 1m, determine the coefficient of velocity.arrow_forward
- A pipe of 0.25 m diameter carries water at the rate of 7.2 m3/s.The pressure head at the entry of the venturimeter, used to measure the flow rate in the pipe, is equivalent to 6 m of water. If the pressure head at the throat is zero, calculate the throat diameter of the venturi.Include fbd.arrow_forwardWater flows through a corner valve at a flow rate of Q=0.75 m³/s . The pressure just upstream of the valve is P₁ = 500 kPa and the pressure just downstream is P₂ = 300 kPa. The inside pipe diameters of the valve inlet and exit are respectively, D₁ = 5 cm and D₂ = 12 cm. If the flow through the valve occurs in a horizontal plane, determine the head loss, h₂ (in meters) and the rate of loss of available energy (in W) across the valve. D2 Diarrow_forward
