Q 5: Negative pressure in a water pipe was measured using U-tube manometer containing mercury (Specific gravity 13.6). The left limb was connected to the water pipe and right limb was exposed to the atmosphere. Height of water upto centre of pipe in the left limb was 30 mm. Difference between the mercury levels in the two limbs was 50 mm. Determine the vacuum pressure in the pipe and also derive the equation used.

[Ans: h= -0.710 m, p = -6.965 kN/m2]

Q 7: Difference in pressure in pipe at two points A and B was measured using a differential manometer. The specific gravity of oil in the pipe is 0.85. If the difference in the mercury level in the two limbs is 200 mm, calculate the pressure difference.

[Ans: h= 2.55 m, p = 25.01 kN/m2]

Q 8: Pressure difference in a water pipe at two points A and B was measured using a differential manometer. If the difference in the mercury level in the two limbs is 50 mm, calculate the pressure difference between two points.

 [Ans: h= 0.63 m, p = 6.18 kN/m2]

Q 9: A U-tube differential manometer is connected to two pipes at A and B. Pipe A Contains oil of Specific Gravity 0.92 and pipe B is carrying water. If the pressure at point A is 125 kN/m2 find the pressure at point B.

 [Ans: h= -3.098 m, p = 30.39 kN/m2]



Q 10: An inverted tube differential manometer having an oil of specific gravity 0.9 is connected to two different pipes carrying water under pressure. Determine the pressure in the pipe B. The pressure in pipe A is 2 m of water.

SURFACE TENSION

SURFACE TENSION:- Surface tension is a physical phenomenon that refers to the force that acts on the surface of a liquid and causes it to form a distinct surface. It is the result of the intermolecular forces between the molecules of the liquid and is responsible for many of the unique properties of liquids, such as their ability to form drops and bubbles.  In this article, we will discuss the definition, causes, measurement, and applications of Surface tension. Definition: Surface tension is defined as the force acting per unit length along the interface between two immiscible liquids or between a liquid and a gas. It is represented by the symbol γ (gamma) and is measured in units of force per unit length, such as newtons per meter (N/m) or dynes per centimeter (dyn/cm). Causes: Surface tension is caused by the intermolecular forces between the molecules of the liquid. These forces can be attractive or repulsive and are related to the type and strength of the intermolecular inte...

Hydraulic Jack

Hydraulic Jack A hydraulic jack is a device used to lift heavy objects by applying force through a hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic jacks are commonly used in garages, auto repair shops, and manufacturing plants to lift cars, trucks, and heavy machinery. In this article, we will discuss the working principle, components, types, advantages, and disadvantages of hydraulic jacks. Working Principle: The working principle of a hydraulic jack is based on Pascal's law, which states that "pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions without loss." A hydraulic jack consists of two cylinders: the first one is called the reservoir, which contains hydraulic fluid, and the second one is the lifting cylinder, which has a piston and a plunger. When force is applied to the plunger, it pushes the piston, which compresses the hydraulic fluid in the lifting cylinder.  This increases the pressure of the fluid, which exerts a force on the object being lifted. The...

Fluid Mechanics "Centrifugal Pumps"

Centrifugal Pumps : we'll just cover certain sections of it, it's on your course syllabus. But we'll start off looking at centrifugal pumps .  A very common type of pump. Swimming pool pumps, spa pumps, all kinds of pumps.  Quite a few of them are centrifugal pumps. I thought so. Okay,sometime this quarter, I don't think this early, you're going to run a test on a centrifugal pump in the fluids lab.  And from that test you're going to put together some performance curves for our centrifugal pump.   So, this is how we  test a centrifugal pump.  I'll go through the procedure that we use in our fluids lab.  We have a pump in a circuit with water in it, from a big reservoir.  The water is pumped through here, it goes around, back into the big reservoir.  We have flow meters in the test setup so we know what the flow rate Q is. We have pressure gauges at points one and two. A centrifugal pump is a radial type of a pump.  There's an impeller ...
