Partha Q4

1) A hemisphere cistern with a 6m radius is full of water and has a 75mm diameter orifice at the bottom. The problem is to calculate the time to lower the water level by 2 meters, given a discharge coefficient of 0.6. 2) Questions involve calculating discharge through various orifices and mouthpieces, given diameters, heads, and other parameters like throat and exit diameters. 3) Questions involve calculating coefficients of discharge and pressure required given pipe/nozzle diameters, rates of discharge, and other parameters.

It is fitted with a 75mm diameter sharp edged


orifice at the bottom. Calculate the time required to lower the level in the cistern by 2 meters. Assume
co-efficient of discharge for the orifice is 0.6.

meters. Find the discharge through mouthpiece, when (i) The mouthpiece is running free and (ii) The
mouthpiece is running full.

2) (a) A convergent-divergent mouthpiece is fitted to the side of a tank. The discharge through
mouthpiece under a constant head of 1.5m is 5 litre/s. The head loss in the divergent portion is 0.10
times the kinetic head at outlet. Find the throat and exit diameters, if separation pressure is 2.5m and
atmosphere pressure head = 10.3 m of water.

diameter 3 m. The drum is horizontal and contains water upto a height of 2.4m. Find the time required
to empty the boiler. Take Cd=0.6

3) (a) A pipe 100mm in diameter, has a nozzle attached to it at the discharge end, the diameter of the
nozzle is 50mm. The rate of discharge of water through the nozzle is 20 litres/s and the pressure at the
base of the nozzle of 5.886 N/cm2. Calculate the coefficient of discharge. Assume that the base of the
nozzle and outlet of the nozzle are the same direction.

(b) A closed tank partially filled with water upto a height of 0.9m having an orifice of diameter 15mm
at the bottom of the tank. The air is pumped into the upper part of the tank. Determine the pressure
required for a discharge of 1.5 litres/s through the orifice. Take Cd =0.062.
