umax = 2 uavg
umax = 2 uavg
1.5 = 2uavguavg = 1.5 m /s 2
Q = A × V = A × uavgQ = π d2 × uavg 4 = π × (0.04)2 × 1.5 = 3π m3 /s 4 2 10000
Correct Option: D
umax = 2 uavg
umax = 2 uavg
1.5 = 2uavguavg = 1.5 m /s 2
Q = A × V = A × uavgQ = π d2 × uavg 4 = π × (0.04)2 × 1.5 = 3π m3 /s 4 2 10000
- Shown below are three tanks, tank 1 without an orifice tube and tanks 2 and 3 with orifice tubes as shown. Neglecting losses and assuming the diameter of orifice to be much less than that of the tank, write expressions for the exit velocity in each of the three tanks.

V1 = √2gH
V2 = √2g(H + L)
V3 = √2g(H + L)Correct Option: D
V1 = √2gH
V2 = √2g(H + L)
V3 = √2g(H + L)
- Consider steady flow of water in a situation where two pipe lines (pipe 1 and pipe 2) combine into a single pipe line (pipe 3) as shown in figure. The cross-sectional'area of all three pipelines are constant. The following data is given
Assuming the water properties and the velocities to be uniform across the cross-section of the inlets and the outlet, the exit velocity (in m/s) in pipe 3 is

Q1 + Q2 = Q3
A1V1 + A2V2 = A3V3
1 + 4 = 2.5 V3
or V3 = 2 m/sCorrect Option: C
Q1 + Q2 = Q3
A1V1 + A2V2 = A3V3
1 + 4 = 2.5 V3
or V3 = 2 m/s
