An inverted V tube manometer is connected to two horizontal pipes A and B through which water is flowing. The vertical distance between the axes of these pipes is 30 cm. When oil of specific gravity 0.8 is used as a guage fluid, the vertical heights of water columns in the two limbs of the inverted manometer (when measured from the respective centre lines of the pipes) are found to be same and equal to 35 cm. Determine the difference of pressure between the pipes.

Two sharp ended pipes of diameters 50 mm and 100mm respectively, each of length 100m are connected in parallel between two reservoirs which have a difference of level of 10m. If the co-efficient of friction (4f) for each pipe is 0.32, calculate the rate of flow for each pipe and also the diameter of a single pipe 100m long which would give the same discharge, if it were substituted for the original two pipes.

A gas is flowing through a horizontal pipe having area of cross section as 40 cm2 where pressure is 40 N/cm2 (guage) and temperature 15°C. At another section the area of cross section is 20cm2 and pressure is 30 N/cm2 (guage). If the mass rate of flow of gas through the pipe is 0.5 Kg/Sec, find the velocity of gas at these sections assuming an isothermal change. Take R=292 N-m/Kg-K and atmospheric pressure = 10N/cm2.

A centrifugal pump having an imeller diameter of 1 m is to be constructed so that it will supply a head rise of 200 m at a flowrate of 4.1 m3/s of water when operating at a speed of 1200 RPM. To study the characteristics of this pump, a1/5 scale, geometrically similar model operated at the same speed is to be tested in the laboratory. Determine the required model discharge and head rise. Assume that both model and prototype operate with the same efficiency (and therefore the same specific speed)
