1. Define and write the Bernoulli’s Equation.

2. Water is flowing along a pipe with a velocity of 7.2 m/s. Express this as a velocity head in meters
of water. What is the corresponding pressure in kN/m2?
3. In a machine there is a separate oil tank from which the oil gets sump, from the figure the oil is
required to pump 60 litres/sec of oil through a 0.1 m diameter pipe from the sumo to a point 10
m above to determine the power required. Also determine pressure intensities at L and M.

4. The diameter of the pipeline in a inclined venturimeter is 400mm. Inclination of the pipeline
with the horizontal is 300 and thorat diameter is 200mm. The distance between the mouth and
throat off the meter is 600mm. Specific gravity of oil flowing through the pipeline is 0.7 and
specific gravity of heavy liquid ( U – Tube) is 13.6. Reading of the differential manometer is
50mm. The co-efficient of the meter is 0.98. Determine the rate of flow in the pipeline.

5. Velocity Measurement by a Pitot tube A pyrometer and a Piton tube are tapped into a
horizontal water pipe, as shown in Figure, to measure static and stagnation (static 224 dynamic)
pressures. For the water lengths, find the velocity of the pipe

1. Water is flowing in a fire hose with a velocity of 1.0 m/s and a pressure of 200000 Pa. At the
nozzle the pressure decreases to atmospheric pressure (101300 Pa), there is no change in
height. Use the Bernoulli equation to calculate the velocity of the water exiting the nozzle.
(Hint: The density of water is 1000 kg/m3 and gravity g is 9.8 m/s2 . Pay attention to units!)]
2. Through a refinery, fuel ethanol is flowing in a pipe at a velocity of 1 m/s and a pressure of
101300 Pa. The refinery needs the ethanol to be at a pressure of 2 atm (202600 Pa) on a
lower level. How far must the pipe drop in height in order to achieve this pressure? Assume
the velocity does not change. (Hint: Use the Bernoulli equation. The density of ethanol is
789 kg/m3 and gravity g is 9.8 m/s2. Pay attention to units!)
