Answer ANY FOUR questions. Answer SECTION A and SECTION B on separate answer books. All questions carry equal marks. Marks for parts of questions are shown in brackets. This examination paper carries a total of 100 marks. Formula sheet/supplementary information is provided at the end of each section. All working must be shown. A numerical solution to a question obtained by programming an electronic calculator will not be accepted.

2 Page 2 of 18 SECTION A Question 1 (a) (b) With the aid of suitable equations briefly explain the difference between laminar and turbulent flow in pipes. (4 marks) For the measurement system shown in Figure Q1a, the pipeline and manometer fluids are water and mercury respectively. The densities are ρ= 1000kg/m 3 for water and ρ=13600kg/m 3 for mercury. If x = 0.75m and h = 1.2 m, find the pressure at Y in kn/m 2. (7 marks) (c) Figure Q1a. A pipeline 200 mm in diameter and 10 km long transfers water between reservoirs with water levels 350m AOD and 300m AOD respectively. Determine the flow rate between the reservoirs if the pipe material is having pipe wall roughness ks = 0.03mm. HRS Tables are attached on Page 4. (8 marks) (d) A trapezoidal canal has a bottom width of 3m and sides with a slope of 1 vertical to 2 horizontal. The depth of water is 1.2m when the discharge is 3.51m 3 /s. Calculate the slope of the channel bed using the Manning formula if Manning s Coefficient, n = (6 marks) Total 25 marks Please turn the page

3 Page 3 of 18 Question 2 (a) A rectangular pontoon, 3m long, 1.5m wide and 0.8m high has a weight of 9050 N. The pontoon is located in sea water of density 1025kg/m 3 with its 0.8m sides vertical. The centre of gravity is at the geometric centre of the pontoon. Calculate the metacentric height and comment on the stability of the pontoon. (8 marks) (b) Briefly describe what is meant by frictional energy loss. Determine the loss of head due to friction in a cast iron pipe 400m long and 150mm in diameter which carries 43 l/s. Use the Darcy equation with λ = (4 marks) (c) Water is discharged from a reservoir into the atmosphere through a pipe 100 m long. There is a sharp entrance to the pipe and the diameter is 75mm for 20m from the entrance. The pipe then enlarges suddenly to 150mm in diameter for the remainder of its length. A valve in the 75mm pipe has a kl = 1.5 when fully open. Taking into account the loss of head at entry, at the valve and at the enlargement, calculate the difference of level between the surface of the reservoir and the pipe exit which will maintain a flow of 10 l /s. Take λ as 0.02 for the 75mm pipe and for the 150mm pipe. (13 marks) Total 25 marks Please turn the page for supplementary information for SECTION A
