Question: Problem 5 Engine oil at 4 0 C is flowing through a 1 . 5 - c m - diameter pipe that discharges into the

Problem 5
Engine oil at 40C is flowing through a 1.5-cm-diameter pipe that discharges into the atmosphere at 88 kPa . The absolute pressure 15 m before the exit is measured to be 135 kPa . Determine the flow rate of oil through the pipe if the pipe is:
a) Horizontal.
b) Inclined 8 upward from the horizontal.
c) Inclined 8 downward from the horizontal.
Vhoriz=1.7910-5m3s,V+8=1.110-5m3s,V-8=2.4710-5m3s
Problem 6
Glycerin at 40C is flowing through a 2-cm-diameter, 25-m-long pipe that discharges into the atmosphere at 100 kPa . The flow rate through the pipe is 0.048Ls. Determine:
a) If the flow is laminar or turbulent.
b) The absolute pressure 25 m before the pipe exit.
c) At what angle must the pipe be inclined downward from the horizontal for the pressure in the entire pipe to be atmospheric pressure and the flow rate to be maintained the same?
P1=194kPa,=-17.6
Problem 7
Consider flow from a water reservoir through a circular hole of diameter D at the side wall at a vertical distance H from the free surface. The flow rate through an actual hole with a sharp-edged entrance (KL=0.5) is considerably less that the flow rate calculated assuming "frictionless" flow and thus zero loss for the hole. Disregarding the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, obtain a relation for the "equivalent diameter" of the sharp-edged hole for use in frictionless flow relations.
Dequiv=0.904D
Problem 8
A horizontal pipe has an abrupt expansion from 8 cm to 16 cm . The water velocity in the smaller section is 10ms and the flow is turbulent. The pressure in the smaller section is P1=410kPa. Taking the kinetic energy correction factor to be 1.06 at both the inlet and the outlet, determine the downstream pressure P2 and estimate the error that would have occurred if Bernoulli's equation had been used.
P2=432kPa,=6%
