- A horizontal pipe line conveys a constant rate of flow which is measured by a venturimeter located in it. The secondary element is a differential manometer. When the manometer is inclined upward in the direction of flow, the deflection on a differential manometer will _______.arrow_forward5. Oil of specific gravity 0.750 is pumped from a tank over a hill through a 24′′ pipe with the pressure at the top of the hill maintained at 25.5 psi. The summit is 250 ft above the surface of the oil in the tank, and oil is pumped at the rate of 22.0 cfs. If the lost head from tank to summit is 15.7 ft, what horsepower must the pump supply to the liquid? indicate free body diagramarrow_forward3.) Oil with sp.gr. 0.95 flows at 200 lit/sec through a 500 m of 200-mm-diameter pipe (f = 0.0225). Determine the head loss.

- A system pumps water from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir. The pipe diameter is 0.245 m and the pipe lengths are L1= 5 m, L2= 3 m, L3= 3 m, and L4= 0.3 m. The impeller of the centrifugal pump has a diameter of 0.5 m and operates at 900 rpm. The uniform blade height is 56 mm. The water enters the pump parallel to the pump shaft with a flow rate of 0.19 m3/s. Take viscosity as 0.00112 N s/m2. What would be the shaft power required to turn the impeller if the exit blade angle is 50 degrees. Work to 4 significant digits. Enter all values using base units or their combinations, i.e. m, m/s, Pa, N. Do not use multiples as e.g. mm, kPa. You can use values with exponents, such as 0.12e3.arrow_forwardThe total head of fan is 200m and has a static pressure of 201mm of water gage. What is the velocity of air flowing if density is 1.16kg/m3. ANSWER: 22.9arrow_forwardFluid flows upwards through an inclined conical pipe as per the following specifications: Type of fluid: Water 1. Analyse the effect of increase in difference in height between outlet and inlet on the difference in pressure between inlet and outlet.arrow_forward
- At a flow rate of 30 LPM, what will happen if the pressure stays the same in 30, 60, and 90 seconds of 2.943 kPa? HYDROSTATIC PRESSUREarrow_forwardIn turbine flowmeters, the flow rate is proportional to the frequency of magnetic fields. a. True b. Falsearrow_forwardOil of specific gravity 0.8 flows through a pipe of 0.25 m diameter. An orifice of 0.1m diameter is fitted to the pipe to measure the flow rate. A mercury manometer fitted across the orifice records a reading of 0.8 m. Calculate the coefficient of discharge of the orifice meter if the flow rate measured by it is 0.082 m3/s.arrow_forward
- A 2-inch diameter hose is conveying water at a flow rate of 20 gpm from point A to point B. The pressure at point A is 40 psi. The elevation at point A is 20 ft above mean sea level (MSL) and the elevation at point B is 18.5 ft above MSL. The hose is 100 ft long. Determine (a) pressure at point B if there is no head loss, (b) pressure at point B if head loss is 1 inch per foot of pipe length. (c) Compare pressure at B with and without headloss - what impact does head loss have?arrow_forwardAn oil and gas company wants to measure the flow rate of the oil in a low head loss application. 1. Suggest a suitable flow measuring device 2. Explain its different parts and working principle. 3. Draw neat sketch and marks its parts.arrow_forwardGiven the 0.063 m length of the syringe. F=1N a. provide an equation to calculate its water flow rate if water is going to travel from a 0.063 m length of syringe with dextrose tube length of 0.5 meter to another 0.063 m syringe (see attached photo). The Inner diameter of the syringe is 0.02. While the inner diameter of dextrose tube is 0.003. b. provide an equation in order to calculate the maximum force or pressure that exerts in plunger in order to travel the water at its maximum speed.arrow_forward
