SOAL-SOAL TUTORIAL KE-4 MEKANIKA FLUIDA-1 (MS2231)

1. Some animals have learned to take advantage of Bernoulli effect without having read a fluid
mechanics book. For example, a typical prairie dog burrow contains two entrancesa flat front
door, and a mounded back door as shown in figure. When the wind blows with velocity V0 across
the front door, the average velocity across the back door is greater than V0 because of the
mound. Assume the air velocity across the back door is 1.07xV0. For a wind velocity of 6 m/s,
what pressure differences, p1 - p2, are generated to provide a fresh air flow within the burrow?

2. Water flows from a pressurized tank, through a 6-in.-diameter pipe, exits from a 2-in.-diameter
nozzle, and rises 20 ft above the nozzle as shown in figure. Determine the pressure in the tank if
the flow is steady, frictionless, and incompressible.

3. Water flows through the pipe contraction shown in figure. For the given 0.2-m difference in
manometer level, determine the flowrate as a function of the diameter of the small pipe, D.
4. Air flows through a Venturi channel of rectangular cross section as shown in figure. The constant
width of the channel is 0.06 m and the height at the exit is 0.04 m. Compressibility and viscous
effects are negligible. (a) Determine the flowrate when water is drawn up 0.10 m in a small tube
attached to the static pressure tap at the throat where the channel height is 0.02 m. (b) Determine
the channel height, h2 at section (2) where, for the same flowrate as in part (a), the water is
drawn up 0.05 m. (c) Determine the pressure needed at section (1) to produce this flow.

5. Water flows steadily downward in the pipe shown in figure with negligible losses. Determine the
flowrate.

6. Water is siphoned from the tank shown in figure. Determine the flowrate from the tank and the
pressures at points (1), (2), and (3) if viscous effects are negligible.
