Assignment 1 PDF

This document contains 6 fluid mechanics and hydraulics assignment problems from the Mechanical Power Department at SUEZ CANAL University's Faculty of Engineering. The problems involve determining pressure gradients, head losses, flow rates, and viscosity for both laminar and turbulent flow through pipes of various diameters carrying different fluids like water, glycerin, and oil. The instructor provides the problems to Dr. Eng. Tamer Nabil and Eng. Ahmed Elsaei for their students.

Assignment (1)
1) The wall shear stress in a fully developed flow portion of a 12-in.-
diameter pipe carrying water is 1.85 lb/ft2. Determine the pressure
gradient, where x is in the flow direction, if the pipe is (a)
horizontal, (b) vertical with flow up, or (c) vertical with flow
down.

2) The 6-cm diameter pipe in figure contains glycerin at 200C flowing


at a rate of 5m3/hour. Verify that the flow is laminar. For the
pressure measurements shown, is the flow up or down? What is the
indicated head loss for this pressure? S.G = 1.27, µ= 1.593 Pa. sec

3) Glycerin at 200C flows upward in a vertical 75-mm-diameter pipe


with a centerline velocity of 1.0 m/ s. Determine the head loss and
pressure drop in a 10-m length of the pipe.

4) SAE 30 0il at 200C flow at 0.0051 m3/min through 80 m long pipe


of 11 mm diameter and then for another 80 m long of 22 mm
diameter. The double pipe system slopes upward at 5H: 1V in the
flow direction. Estimate: (a) The total pressure change (b) The
power required to drive the flow. [S.G = 0.86, , µ= 7.18 x 10-3 Pa.
sec].

5) (Due Problem ) An oil with S.G. = 0.87 issues from the pipe
system shown in figure. If the flow rate = 22 ft3/hour, what is the
kinematic viscosity of the oil? Is the flow laminar?

6) Water at 200C flows through a horizontal 1-mm-diameter tube to


which are attached two pressure taps a distance 1 m apart. (a) What
is the maximum pressure drop allowed if the flow is to be laminar?
(b) Assume the manufacturing tolerance on the tube diameter is
D = 1.0 0.1 mm. Given this uncertainty in the tube diameter. what
is the maximum pressure drop allowed if it must be assured that the
flow is laminar?
