General Instruction: Solve the given problems below to the best of your ability and
show your solutions legibly. Apply engineering lettering! Please box your final
answers. Failure to do so shall receive a demerit of points. Write your output in the
provided plate template.
Situation 01: The pump shown draws water from reservoir A at elevation 10m and
lifts it to reservoir B at elevation 60m. The loss of head from A to 1 is two times the
velocity head in the 200mm diameter pipe and the loss of head from 2 to B is ten times
the velocity head in the 150mm diameter pipe. Determine the rated horsepower of the
pump and the pressure heads at 1 and 2 in meters when the discharge is 0.03 m3 /sec.
Situation 02: A 150mm diameter horizontal Venturi meter is installed in a 450-mm
diameter water main. The deflection of mercury in the differential manometer
connected from the inlet to the throat is 375mm. (a) Determine the discharge neglecting
head lost. (b) Compute the discharge if the head lost from the inlet to the throat is
300mm of water, and (c) what is the meter coefficient?
Situation 03: Determine the flow over a suppressed weir 3m long and 1.2m high
under a head of 900mm. The weir factor Cw=1.91. Consider velocity of approach.
