1.Oil of specific gravity of 0.72 flows through a 7.5 cm diameter orifice with Cv =
0.95, Cc = 0.65. What must be the pressure of the air on the surface so that the
jets available power is 6 KW? See Fig. D.
3.What will be the discharge through a 2.5cm orifice (C=0.61) in the bottom of a
tank moving upward with an acceleration of 3 2 if the water stands 2.50m over
the orifice?
4.In Fig. A, P1 = 70KPa, P2 = 5KPa, Cc= 1.00, Cv= 0.95, Do= 6cm, h=1.80m
(liquid with s=2.5). Find the actual flow through the orifice, to double the
discharge, what must be P1 assuming P2 is unchanged?
5. The horizontal orifice of Fig. B has a diameter of 10cm with Cc=0.60, Cv=
0.97. When h=2.50m. What pressure, applied on the surface, will cause the jet to
rise 20cm higher than the free surface?
6.In Fig. C, Do= 5cm and Cc= 0.62, Cv= 0.98. the liquid is oil(s=0.80) and stands
4m in the piezometer above the pipes centerline. Compute the flow and the
velocity of the jet.
7.A sharp-edged orifice in a 30 plane has its vena contracta at EL 10.7m. If the
W.S. in the tank is at EL 15.25m and the top of the jet is at EL 14m, find the
velocity and the coefficient of velocity.
8.In Fig. E is a submerged orifice. Find the theoretical velocity of the jet.
9.Fig. F shows a cylinder weighing 780N and is empty at the time the orifice is
opened. Neglecting the thickness of the cylinder walls, determine the weight of
the anchor if the cylinder sinks 1m in 2minutes. The specific weight of the anchor
is 23.54 KN/m3. 10.A cylindrical vessel 1.20m in diameter and 2m high has a
rounded circular orifice 5cm in diameter in the bottom with C= 0.95. If the vessel
is full of water, how long will it take to lower the surface 1.50m?
11.A vertical cylindrical tank has orifice for its outlet. When the water surface in
the tank is 5m above the orifice, the surface can be lowered 4m in 20minutes, the
pressure on the surface being atmospheric. What uniform air pressure must be
applied to the surface if the same volume of water is to be discharged in
10minutes?
12.A swimming pool with plan and section shown in Fig. G is filled with water . It
has two short tubes both with diameter 20cm and C= 0.80 located at the lowest
point. Find the time needed to empty the pool through these tubes.
13.In Fig. H is shown a tank 1.5 by 1.5m horizontal section and 3m high with two
orifices (C=0.60) both 10cm in diameter and 60cm apart. (a) How much water
must be supplied to the tank to keep it always full? (b) If this supply is cut off,
how long
18.In a river 20m wide, having an average depth of 1m and a mean velocity of
0.35 , a contracted rectangular weir 10m long is to be constructed. Determine
the head over the weir.
20.A trapezoidal canal, 6m at the bottom and having side slopes 2:1 carries
water to a depth of 40cm and mean velocity of 0.60 . what length of a
rectangular contracted weir 85cm high should be placed in the middle of the
canal if the depth of water upstream is to be 1.20m?
24.A stream 24m wide carries 1.843 of water. Determine the resulting head
over a Cipolletti weir 1m high and 4m long.
25.What length of Cipolletti weir should be constructed if the measured head will
not exceed 50cm when the discharge is 3.403 ?
26.A rectangular suppressed weir under a constant head of 10cm feeds a tank
containing a 7.5cm diameter orifice. The weir is 60cm long. The head lost in the
orifice is 0.60J/N and Cc = 0.65. Determine the head to which the water will rise
above the orifice. Also find the value of Cv.
27.A rectangular suppressed weir 80cm high is built across a rectangular flume
10m wide. The measured head is 40cm of water. Some distance upstream is
another rectangular weir having a height of 1.10m. The measured head on the
second weir is 50cm. Find the length of the second weir.
28.During a test on a 245cm long rectangular suppressed weir which was 100cm
high, the head was maintained constant at 30cm. In 38sec, 28.803 of water
were collected. Find the correction factor C .
31. A 90 V-notch weir is located at one end of a tank having a square section
10m by 10m. If the initial head on the weir is 1.20m, how long will it take to
discharge 1003 of water over the weir?
33. Determine the probable capacity of a concrete pipe culvert 1.20m in diameter
and 12m long discharging under a head of 1.60m. The entrance is
square=cornered.
