Fluid mechanis Read the question carefully, give me right solution The head loss (hf) in a 1200mm x 600mm pipe (therefore, non-circular) conveying water is estimated to be 0.04m for every 1 meter of its total length. If the said pipe is filled with water and its friction factor f = 0.032, what should be the discharge Q?
a. The diameter of a 3 meter pipe decreases from 450 mm to 150 mm. If the velocity is to decrease uniformly in a linear manner, draw the diameter profile at each 500 mm length interval along the pipe. Discharge is 150 liters per second. b. The same venturi meter described in letter a is used to measure the discharge for a length of pipeline that was suspected to have had water stolen through an illegal connection. Before said suspected illegal connection, a mercury difference of 350 mm was observed while a mercury difference of 200 mm was observed afterwards. Estimate the stolen volume of water per day.

An engineer contractor is examining the feasibility of using equipment for hydraulic sluicing. He desires to find the pump pressures at B and C, see figure below, and the horsepower necessary to maintain a flow of 142 liters per second through the system. Assume loss of entry E due to suction pipe (strainer or foot valve) is three times the velocity head in the 250mm pipe. The pipes are fairly smooth and the several special fittings in the discharge pipe total a loss of head four times the velocity head in the 200 mm-dia. pipe and the loss in the nozzle is 0.08 times velocity head at the jet. The efficiency of pump is 60%, f= 0.018. Draw the approximate gradients and label them completely.
