Question 5
i) A pipe is 6 km long with a diameter of 1200 mm has a valve fitted at its end. If the fluid flowing in the pipe flows at a velocity of \(4\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) and an assumed velocity of the pressure wave \( C \) is \(0.83\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{min}\).
If the valve is closed in 0.667 minules, state whether the valve closure is gradual or sudden and find the rise in pressure if the valve within this time. (\(2+4\) Marks)
ii) Assuming the pipe is rigid with a bulk modulus of the water to be \(4000\mathrm{kN}/\mathrm{m}^{2}\) and the vale-is-losed in Find the rise in pressure if the value is closed in 0.083 min , find the rise in pressure. (3 Marks)
iii) What is the Froude Number ( Fr ) and name the three parameters that are used in the expression? (3 Marks)
- iv) A fluid flowing downstream the dam has a flow of \(350\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{s}\) over a river section with cross-section area of \(45\mathrm{~m}^{2}\) is ascertained to have a froude Number of 0.86. Determine the Hydrualic Depth of the flow \& state the nature of the flow. \((7+1\) Marks)
Question 6
i) A fluid is flowing through a pipe completely full. The diameter of the pipe is 500 mm . Find the Hyadrualic Radius of the Pipe. (3 Marks)
ii) Given the Conveyance of the channel is 0.11 for a smooth cement plaster, use the Hydraulic Radius found in (ii) above to compute the Roughness coefficient. (2 Marks)
iii) What is the difference between an open channel and a closed channel? (2 Mark)
- iv) Given water is flowing through an open channel with a flow velocity of \(2.5\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) at a slope of 0.04. Given the hydraulic radius is 1 m , determine the manning number of a channel? (2 Mark)
v) What term is given to the carrying capacity of a channel section? (1 Mark)
vi) Froude Number (Fr) and name the three parameters that are used in the expression? (3 Marks)
vii) Water is flowing from a pipe with a diameter 1200 mm at a velocity of \(6\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) into a canal, which is trapezoidal in shape. Assuming there are no pressure changes with no losses on entering the channel, which has slopes of \(1\mathrm{~V}: 2\mathrm{H}\) and
