1. Calculate the sp.weight, density and sp.gravity of one litre of liquid which weights 7N.
2. A plate 0.023 mm distant from a fixed plate moves at 60 cm/s and requires a force of 2N
per unit area i.e 2 N/m2 to maintain this speed. Determine the fluid viscosity between the
plates.
3. The dynamic viscosity of oil used for lubrication between a shaft and sleeve is 6 poise. The
shaft is of diameter 0.4 m and rotates at 190 rpm. Calculate the power lost in the bearing
for a sleeve length of 90mm. The thickness of the oil film is 1.5mm.
4. The surface tension of water in contact with air at 20◦C is 0.0725N/m. The pressure inside
a droplet of water is to be 0.02 N/cm2 greater then the outside pressure. Calculate the
diameter of the droplet of water.
5. Calculate the capillary rise in a glass tube of 2.5mm diameter when immersed vertically in
a) water b) Mercury. Take surface tension of 2.5 mm diameter when immersed vertically
in contact with air. The specific gravity for mercury is given as 13.6 and angle of contact
= 130
6. If the velocity distribution over a plate is given by u=2/3 y – y2 in which u is the velocity
in m/s at a distance y meter above the plate, determine the shear stress at y = 0 and y = 0.15
m.
7. A 30cm diameter pipe conveying water branches into two pipes of diameters 20cm and
15cm respectively. If the average velocity in the 30cm diameter pipe is 2.5m/s. find the
discharge in this pipe. Also determine the velocity in 15cm pipe if the average velocity in
20cm diameter pipe is 2m/s.
8. Water is flowing through a pipe having diameter 300mm and 200mm at the bottom and
upper end respectively. The intensity of pressure at the bottom end is 24.525 N/cm2 and
the pressure at the upper end is 9.81 N/cm2. Determine the difference in datum head if the
rate of flow through pipe is 40 lit/sec.
9. The water is flowing through a taper pipe of length 100m having diameters 600mm at the
upper end and 300mm at the lower end at the rate of 50lit/sec. The pipe has a slope of sec
1 in 30. Find the pressure at the lower end if the pressure at the higher level is 19.62 N/cm2.
10. A horizontal venturimeter with inlet diameter 20cm and throat diameter 10cm is used to
measure the flow of oil of sp.gravity 0.8. The discharge of oil through venturimeter is 60
lit/sec. Find the reading of the oil – mercury differential manometer takes Cd = 0.98.
11. An orifice meter with orifice diameter 10cm is inserted in a pipe of 20cm diameter. The
pressure gauges fitted upstream and downstream of the orifice meter gives readings of
19.62 N/cm2 and 9.81 N/cm2 respectively. Coefficient of discharge for the orifice meter is
given as 0.6. Find the discharge of water through pipe.
12. An orifice meter with orifice diameter 15cm is inserted in a pipe of 30cm diameter. The
pressure difference measured by a mercury oil differential manometer on the two sides of
the orifice meter gives a reading of 50cm of mercury. Find the rate of flow of sp.gravity
0.9 when the co-efficient of discharge of the orifice meter is 0.64.
13. A pitot tube placed in the centre of a 300mm pipeline has one orifice pointing upstream
and other perpendicular to it. The mean velocity in the pipe is 0.80 of the central velocity.
Find the discharge through the pipe if the pressure difference between the two orifice is
60mm of water. Take the coefficient of pitot tube as Cv = 0.98.
