b) Calculate discharge through pipe line having length 50m and it is connected to a
reservoir. The head above inlet is 8 m and pipeline discharges freely at other end. The
diameter of first 25 m length is 15 cm and for remaining length is 30 cm. Consider all
losses (f=0.04)
c) Calculate discharge and pressure difference between entrance and throat for a
Venturimeter of size 30x 15 cm if it is provided in a Vertical pipeline carrying oil of
specific gravity 0.9, the flow being upwards. The difference in elevation of throat
selection and entrance of Venturimeter is 50 cm the differential U tube mercury
manometer show a gauge deflection of 30 cm.
