Question: 6 . 5 . ( Welty 6 . 5 , 9 p t s ) During the flow of 2 0 0 f t 3

6.5.(Welty 6.5,9pts) During the flow of 200ft3s of water through the hydraulic turbine shown below,
the pressure indicated by gauge A is 12 psig . What should gauge B read if the turbine is delivering 600 hp
at 82% efficiency? Gauge B is designed to measure the total pressure (i.e. stagnation pressure)- that is,
P+v22, for an incompressible fluid.
6.6.(Welty 6.12,15pts) The pressurized tank shown has a circular cross section of 6 ft in diameter. Oil is
drained through a nozzle of 2 in diameter in the side of the tank. Assuming that the air pressure is
maintained constant, how long does it take to lower the oil surface in the tank by 2 ft ? The specific
gravity of the oil in the tank is 0.85, and that of mercury is 13.6.
6.7.(Welty 6.31,15pts)(a) Referring to the figure below, assume the flow to be frictionless in the
siphon, i.e the tube being used to drain the water from the cylindrical tank. Find the rate of discharge in
cubic feet per second, and the pressure head at B if the tube has a uniform diameter of 1 in . How long will
it take for the water level to decrease by 3 ft ? The tank diameter is 10 ft .
(b) Find the rate of discharge if the frictional head loss in the tube is 3.2v2g where v is the flow
velocity in the tube.
