Before the said illegal connection,the difference in pressure for every 100 meters is 1 meter and after it thdifference in pressure per 100 meters is only 0.7 m. Compute thedecrease in supply due to this connection.
40. Situation 14 - A calibration test of a 0.00785 m2 circular sharp-edged orifice in a vertical side of a large tank showed a discharge of 22,300 N of water in 1 minute and 40 seconds at a constant head of 1.20 m. Measurement of the jet showed that it traveled 1.92 m. horizontally while dropping 0.80 m. a. What is the nearest value of the coefficient of contraction? Round off to four decimal places. b. What is the nearest value of the coefficient of velocity? Round off to four decimal places. c. What is the nearest value of the coefficient of discharge? Round off to four decimal places.
1. An orifice is an opening with a closed perimeter through which fluid flows. Can you think of any examples of this? 2. Discuss the experimental determination of orifice coefficients. What value are these coefficients to the civil engineer?

A flowing air has a kinematic viscosity of 1.79 x 10^-5 m2/s. It flows at a velocity of 12 m/s in a pipe of 5 mm diameter. Classify the flow as laminar or turbulent. Show your solutions Turbulent Laminar Uncertain
Problem 4: Laminar or Turbulent? Oil (s = 0.85 and v= 1.8x105 m²/s) flows through a 100 mm diameter pipe at 0.5 L/s. Part A Calculate the Reynolds number. Part B Is the flow laminar or turbulent, and why?
Directions: Solve the following problems completely, and make a detailed solution. Any incompletesolution arriving at such answers will never be considered. 7. A submarine is 109.36 yards. The shape of its hull is roughly cylindrical with a diameterof 15m. When it is submerged, it cruises at a speed of about 40 knots or approximately20m/s. Compute Reynold’s number, if the viscosity is 0.01 Poise.
HYDRAULICS LABORATORY EXPERIMENT NO. 3 1. Define the coefficients used in connection with the flow through orifices. Explain why these coefficients are necessary. 2. What are the relative advantages of using a Venturi meter to measure flow compared with an orifice meter?
Similitude Water flows through a 5 inch diameter pipe at 10 ft/s. If a test is performed using mercury moving at 4 ft/s, what diameter pipe (in inches) would be needed to maintain the same dynamic characteristics? Both fluids are at standard temperature and pressure. Hint: What dimensionless number do we use all the time for pipes?
1. Why is it important to consider pressure changes when transporting compressible fluids in pipelines?2. Mention what equipment is used to move gases through ducts
Explain the settings in which the following instruments are appropriate for pressure measurement purposes: (i) Piezometer; (ii) Manometer; (iii) Differential manometer. Suggest a reason why a manometer would be preferable to a piezometer for pressure measurement in some settings.
An illegal connection was observed on a 300 mm diameter horizontal pipe. Upstream from the connection two gages 600 m apart showed a pres- sure difference of 140 kPa. Downstream from the connection two gages 600 m apart showed a pressure difference of 116 kPa. How much oil (assume logical Gs, four decimal places) is being stolen due to the illegal connection? Assume loss of head ranging from 40% - 50 % of velocity head for every 50 m. (PLEASE INCLUDE FIGURES PLEASE)
