An open water tank drains through a round opening with a diameter of 10 mm in its side. The free surface is 1.5 m above the opening. Ignoring losses and the contraction of the jet, find the flow rate Q. Use g = 9.81 m/s².
Water flows through a pipe that narrows from 100 mm to 50 mm in diameter. The velocity in the wide section is 1.5 m/s. Find the velocity v2 in the narrow section.
Water flows through a horizontal pipe that narrows from 150 mm to 75 mm. In the wide section the pressure is 340 kPa and the velocity is 2 m/s. Ignoring losses, find the pressure p2 in the narrow section.
A pitot-static tube in a wind tunnel reads a difference of 350 Pa between the stagnation pressure and the static pressure. The air density is 1.2 kg/m³. Find the air speed v.
A fountain nozzle points straight up. Just below the nozzle the supply pipe has a diameter of 75 mm and a gauge pressure of 20 kPa. The nozzle exit diameter is 40 mm, and the height difference across the nozzle is negligible. Ignoring losses and air resistance, find the height H the jet rises above the nozzle. Use g = 9.81 m/s².
A hose with an inner diameter of 25 mm siphons water from an open tank. The highest point C of the hose is 2.5 m above the water surface, and the outlet (open to the air) is 4 m below the water surface. Ignore losses and take g = 9.81 m/s². Find the flow rate Q.
