7. Valve
A B
Sections “A” and “B” in pipeline (shown schematically in the figure given
below) are at the same elevation of 2.50 m above datum. A valve lies in-
between “A” and “B”. The flow parameters at “A” are:
Velocity head = 0.50 m
Pressure head = 2.50 m, and
Valve loss is 0.20 m
The Piezometric head at “B” is:
(a) 5.50 m (b) 5.30 m
(c) 5.00 m (d) 4.80 m

12. Water is pumped from a reservoir through 150 mm diameter pipe and is delivered
at a height of 15 m from center line of the pump through a 100 mm nozzle
connected to a 150 mm discharge line (see the attached figure). If the pressure at
pump inlet is 210 kN/ m2 absolute, inlet velocity of 6 m/s and the jet is discharged
into atmosphere, determine:
The energy supplied by the pump,
(Assume atmospheric pressure as 101.3 kN/m2 and no friction)
13.
14. The suction and delivery pipe diameters of a pump are 200 mm and 100 mm
respectively. If the inlet and outlet pressures are 70 kN/m2 and 210 kN/m2
respectively and pump delivers 40 kw power to the fluid, find:
The discharge of water flowing through the pump.
(Assume exit to be 0.5 m above the inlet)

17. Fig ( ) shows a Venturi-meter with its axis vertical and arranged as suction
device. The throat and outlet areas of the Venturi- are 0.00025 m2 and
0.001 m2 respectively. If the Venturi discharges into atmosphere,
determine:
The minimum discharge in the Venturi-meter at which flow will occur up
the suction pipe.

hole at its bottom is unplugged, the tank is emptied in time T.
How long will it take to empty the tank if it is half filled?
Now let us consider that at certain moment the height of water level be ”h” and the
velocity of water emerging through the orifice of cross sectional area ”a” at the
bottom of the tank be “V”. As the surface of water and the orifice are in open
atmosphere, then by Bernoulli's theorem we have:
𝑉 = 2 𝑔 ℎ .
Let ”dh” represents decrease in water level during infinitesimally small time
interval ”dt” when the water level is at height ”h”. So the rate of decrease in
volume of water will be − A (dh/ dt).
Again the rate of flow of water at this moment through the orifice is given by 𝑎 ×
𝑉 = 𝑎 ∙ 2 𝑔 ℎ.
36. These two rate must be same by the principle of continuity.
Hence 𝑎 ∙ 2 𝑔 ℎ = − 𝐴 𝑑ℎ 𝑑𝑡
→ 𝑑𝑡 =
𝐴
𝑎 ∙ 2 𝑔
ℎ− 0.5 𝑑ℎ
If the tank is filled to the brim then height of water level will be ”H” and
time required to empty the tank “T” can be obtained by integrating the
above relation.
