1. Water flows through a long, horizontal, conical diffuser at the rate of 4.2 m3/s.

The diameter of the

diffuser changes from 1 m to 1.6 m. The pressure at the smaller end is 9.5 kPa. Find the pressure at
the downstream end of the diffuser, assuming frictionless flow. Assume also, that the angle of the
cone is small enough that the flow does not separate from the walls of the diffuser.

2. Part of a vertical piping system consists of 8 ft of 4 in diameter, connected to 8 ft of 2 in diameter

above that. Water at 600 F flows up the pipe (no down flow is permitted). (a) neglecting friction, find
the difference in water pressure (psi) between the two ends when the flow rate is 150 gpm. (b) what
is the minimum value for this pressure difference, and under what circumstances does it occur?

3. Water at 100 C flows up pipe AB (5 m long, 40 mm diameter) and along BC (3 m long, 30 mm

diameter) at 1.75 L/s. if the measured pressure at A is 250 kPa, and the pipe friction head loss
between A and C is 1.45 m, find the pressure at C. Neglect energy losses caused by the diameter
change and bend at B  ɤ water at 100 C = 9.804 kN/m3

4. Water flows through a pipe at 14 cfs. At a point where the pipe diameter is 18 in, the pressure is 30
psi; at a second point, further along the flow path and 2 ft lower than the first, the diameter is 9 in
and the pressure is 18 psi. Find the pipe friction head loss between the two points. Neglect other
head losses.
5. From point 1, a 25 mm diameter pipe runs horizontally under the floor and then a 12.5 mm diameter
line runs 1 m up the wall to point 2. To maintain a pressure of 300 kPa at point 2, when 15 0C water is
flowing at 0.5 L/s, what pressure must be provided at point 1?neglect friction
ɤ water at 150 C = 9708 N/m3 , given Q = 0.5 L/s = 0.0005 m3/s
