C2. A conical tube is fixed vertically with its smaller end upwards and it forms a part of the pipeline. The diameter at the smaller end is 245 mm and at the larger end is 467 mm. The length of the conical tube is 1.8 m and the flow rate of the oil is 128 liters/s. The pressure at the smaller end is equivalent to a head of 9.7 m of oil. Considering the following two cases: (1) Neglecting friction, (without head loss) determine (i) the velocity at the smaller end in m/s, (ii) the velocity at the larger end in m/s, and (iii) the pressure at the larger end of the tube. (2) If a head loss (with head loss) in the tube is hL= 0.0153(V1-V2)2, where V1 is the velocity at the smaller end and V2 is the velocity at the larger end, determine (iv) the head loss in m of oil and (v) the pressure at the larger end of the tube.

A centrifugal pump delivers 25 liters of water per second against a head of 10 meters and running at 1300 rpm requires 10 kW of power. Determine the discharge, head of the pump and power required if the pump runs at 1500 rpm. (Ans. 0.0288cumec or 1.73 cu.m./min , 13.31m, 15.36kw)
Suppose the pump of Fig. P14–23 is operating atfree delivery conditions. The pipe, both upstream and downstreamof the pump, has an inner diameter of 2.0 cm andnearly zero roughness. The minor loss coefficient associatedwith the sharp inlet is 0.50, each valve has a minor loss coefficientof 2.4, and each of the three elbows has a minor losscoefficient of 0.90. The contraction at the exit reduces thediameter by a factor of 0.60 (60% of the pipe diameter), andthe minor loss coefficient of the contraction is 0.15. Note thatthis minor loss coefficient is based on the average exit velocity,not the average velocity through the pipe itself. The total length of pipe is 6.7 m, and the elevation difference is (z1 - z2)= 4.6 m. Estimate the volume flow rate through this pipingsystem. Complete Answer, Thank you

Calculate the power required to pump water at 120 kg/s from a supply tank, through an 18 cm diameter galvanised iron pipe to a storage tank located 12m above the supply tank. The length of the pipe is 70 m. All losses other than friction losses are ignored. [Hint: Use Moody Diagram] (For water, ρ = 1000 kg/m3, μ = 1.003 x 10-3 Pa.s)
As seen in Figure 3 below, the water from the tank 1 is pumped to the tank 2 with a flow rate of 5,664 liters/s, passing through a pipe with a diameter of 50.8 mm and a length of 121.92 m. Some of the local losses in the system are also shown on the figure. Calculate the effective power of the pump by taking the relative roughness ɛ / d = 0.001 Note: For all questions, pwater = 1000 kg/m³, g=9.81m/s^2 , the kinematic viscosity of water is 1.0219x106 m²/s and the questions can be solved by accepting the values that are not given.
A fully-filled open storage tower of height 32 m and diameter 3.0m supplies water to a house. A horizontal pipe at the base of the tower has a diameter of 2.54cm. To satisfy the needs of the home, the supply pipe must be able to deliver water at a rate of 0.67 gal/s. a. If water were flowing at the maximum rate, what would be the pressure in the horizontal pipe?b. A smaller pipe, of diameter 1.27 cm supplies the second floor of the house, a distance of 7.2 m above the ground level. What are the flow speed and water pressure in this pipe?
