FLUID FLOW I CHEP 222/ENGT 225 TEST TWO AUGUST 2024

QUESTION ONE

Outline the practical applications of flow through pipes in daily life. [6 marks]

QUESTION TWO

What causes the flow of real fluids? [2 marks]

QUESTION THREE

What are the two types of flow through pipes? [2 marks]

QUESTION FOUR

What dimensionless number used to determine the flow through pipes and write down its equation?
[6 marks]

QUESTION FIVE

Fill in the following Table:

Reynolds Number Condition of flow


Re < 2000
2000 < Re < 4000
Re > 4000

[3 marks]

QUESTION SIX

If a square pipe of side 60 cm, carries a discharge of 3 m/sec, the velocity of flow (m/sec) in the pipe
is? [ 4 marks]

QUESTION SEVEN

The head loss in sudden expansion from 8 cm diameter to 16 cm diameter pipe in terms of velocity
V1, in the smaller pipe is? [ 8 marks]

QUESTION EIGHT

The pressure drop of water in a pipe is measured by a manometer using a liquid of density 2000
kg/m3. The difference in height of the liquid in the limbs is 10cm. Then, the pressure drop is?

[12 marks]

QUESTION NINE

In a pipe of diameter 5 cm, water is flowing at a rate of 8 cm/sec. If the dynamic viscosity of water is
1.6 x 10-2Pa.s, what type of flow is present? [8 marks]

QUESTION TEN

A Venturi meter measures fluid speed in a pipe. A constriction (of cross-sectional area A2) is put

in a pipe of normal cross-sectional area A1. Two vertical tubes, open to the atmosphere, rise from
two points, one of which is in the constriction. The vertical tubes function like manometers, enabling
the pressure to be determined. From this information the flow speed in the pipe can be determined.
Suppose that the pipe in question carries water, A1 = 2.0A2, and the fluid heights in the vertical
tubes are h1 = 1.20 m and h2 = 0.80 m.

(a) Find the ratio of the flow speeds v2/v1. [2 marks]

(b) Find the gauge pressures P1 and P2. [6 marks]

(c) Find the flow speed v1 in the pipe. [9 marks]

QUESTION ELEVEN

A reservoir of water has the surface at 310m above the outlet nozzle of a pipe with diameter 15mm.
What is the

a) velocity, [3 marks]
b) the discharge out of the nozzle [4 marks]

c) mass flow rate. [5 marks]

(Neglect all friction in the nozzle and the pipe).

QUESTION TWELVE

Water is pumped from a large reservoir to a point 65 feet higher than the reservoir. How many feet
of head must be added by the pump if 8000 lbm/hr flows through a 6-inch pipe and the frictional
head loss is 2 feet? The density of the fluid is 62.4 lbm/ft3, and the cross-sectional area of a 6-inch
pipe is 0.2006 ft2. [12 marks]
