A hydraulic lift consist of a ram having diameter of 35cm, which slides in a
35.015cm diameter cylinder. The annular space between the ram and the cylinder
11 is filled with an oil of kinematic viscosity of 280 centistokes and a specific CO1 K2
gravity of 0.9. Compute the viscous resistance experienced by the ram travelling
at a rate of 15m per minute with 3m of the ram engaged in the cylinder.
A conical bearing of outer radius 0.5 m and inner radius 0.3 m and height 0.3 m
runs on a conical support with a uniform clearance between surfaces. Oil with
12 viscosity 33 centi. Poise is used. The support is rotated at 450 rpm. Compute the
CO1 K2
clearance if the power required was 1400 W.
A venturimeter is inclined at 60° to the vertical and its 150 mm diameter throat is
1.2 m from the entrance along its length. It is fitted to a pipe of diameter 300
mm. The pipe conveys gasoline of S = 0.82 and flowing at 0.215 m3/s upwards.
13 Pressure gauges inserted at entrance and throat show the pressures of 0.141 CO1 K2
N/mm2and 0.077 N/mm2respectively. Determine the co-efficient of discharge of
the venturimeter. Also determine the reading in mm of differential mercury
column, if instead of pressure gauges the entrance and the throat of the
venturimeter are connected to the limbs of a U tube mercury manometer.
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
14 2.5m/sec, Compute the discharge in this pipe. Also calculate the velocity in the
CO1 K2
15cm diameter pipe if the average velocity in the 20cm diameter pipe is 2m/sec.
