Q3. In Fig. 3 below, the pump move water from tank A to pressurized Tank B at rate of 100 m³ in 5 min. Perform appropriate calculation to determine if the pump with 2.5 hp works for this purpose. Repeat the calculation and determine if the pump works with air pressure in Tank B of 2.5 atm instead 1.5 atm.

Q4.
The elbow flow passage volume is 0.4 m3. The water volume flowrate at the inlet is 0.4 m³/s and the elbow
inlet pressure is 150 kPa and outlet pressure at point B and C are 50 kPa. The inlet velocity at point A is 18
m/s. Assume the diameter at point C equals the diameter at point B. The elbow mass is 12 kg. Calculate
the horizontal (x direction) and vertical (y direction) anchoring forces required to hold the elbow in place.

A trapezoid-shaped tank used to supply potable water to a small area which includes 8 villas (Figure 1).
The tank bottom base is 3 m, while the top base is 5 m. The tank is partially submerged vertically in water
so that the top is 1 m above the surface and the bottom is 3 m below the surface. Determine the total
force exerted on the trapezoidal wall by the water.

The water flows through a horizontal Venturi-meter at section 2 in Figure 1. The inlet and throat diameters
are shown in Fig. 2 below. A mercury filled a U-tube manometer connected to the inlet and throat shows
a difference in mercury level of 300 mm. The specific gravity of mercury is 13.6. Determine the flow rate,
and the difference in pressure between the inlet and throat.
