Questions for End-Semester Examination (February-June, 2021)

CE 4401 : Hydraulics & Water Resources Engineering

1. (A) A thin plate in the form of a trapezoid is immersed, vertically, in water with one of
the parallel sides on the free surface. The lengths of parallel sides at the top, at the
bottom and the height are 𝑎, 𝑏 and ℎ, respectively. What is the ratio of the parallel
sides, 𝑎/𝑏, if the center of pressure is located at a depth of 0.7ℎ? [5]
(b) … from the portion CE 4401-part B. [5]

2. (A) The loss of head in sudden expansion of a pipe is given by ℎ! = 𝑉! − 𝑉! !/2𝑔,


where suffixes 1 and 2 refer to sections before and after the expansion. A 10 cm pipe
carrying oil (RD = 0.85) undergoes a sudden expansion to 20 cm diameter in a
horizontal stretch of the pipeline. If the pressure difference between sections 2 and 1
is recorded as 660 Pa, estimate the discharge through the pipe. [4]
(b) A jet of water 15 cm in diameter strikes a curved blade at 20 m/s velocity. The inlet
and outlet angles of the vane are 0° and 45° respectively. Determine the resultant force
exerted on the blade when (i) the jet is stationary and (ii) the blade moves against the
direction of the water at 5 m/s. Neglect friction along the blade. [6]
OR
(c) Water is discharged from a 10 cm diameter nozzle held at an angle of 30°. The tip
of the nozzle is 1.9 m above the ground level. Estimate the discharge if the jet strikes
the ground at 4.7 m away from the nozzle. [4]
(d) A 20 cm diameter jet of oil (RD = 0.9) strikes a flat plate at an angle of 25° to the
normal. The plate is moving at a velocity of 3 m/s in the direction of the jet. Calculate
the absolute velocity of the jet if the resultant force exerted on the plate is 2500 N. [6]

3. (A) A pipe carrying water has a 30 cm × 15 cm venturimeter which is positioned


inclined at 30° to the horizontal. The flow is upwards. The converging cone is 45 cm
in length and the 𝐶! of the meter is 0.98. A differential U-tube manometer with
mercury as indicating fluid is connected to the inlet and to the throat and shows a
differential column height of 30 cm. (i) Calculate the discharge in the pipe. (ii) If the
pressure at the throat is 10 kPa, calculate the pressure at the inlet section. (iii) Also,
find the head loss in the converging section of the venturimeter. [6]
(b) Estimate the power required in kW per kilometer length of a pipeline to overcome
the viscous resistance to flow of crude oil (𝜇!"# = 0.1 Pas) through a horizontal 8.0 cm
diameter pipe at the rate of 5 L/s. [4]
OR
(c) What size of new cast-iron pipe (𝜖 = 0.25 mm) is needed to transport 400 L/s
water at 25°C for 1 km with head loss of 2 m? Take 𝜈!"#$%,!"°! = 0.897×10−6 m2/s. [6]
(d) A closed cylindrical tank is 3.5 m high and contains an oil of relative density 0.82 to
a height of 3.0 m above the bottom. The space above the oil surface contains air under
a pressure of 50 kPa. If an 8-cm-diameter orifice is provided on the side of the tank
with its center 25 cm above the bottom, estimate the weight of fluid discharged in one
minute. Take 𝐶! = 0.60. [4]
