INSTRUCTIONS: WRITE YOUR SOLUTION FOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS.
Part I. ENUMERATION.
1. A principle in flow measurement which states that, neglecting head loss the increase in
kinetic energy per unit weight is equal to the decrease in potential energy per unit weight.
_________________________
2. It is a graphical representation of the total energy of flow is called
____________________.
3. The hydraulic and energy gradients for a straight pipe and uniform diameter are parallel
with each other because of ___________________________________.
4. It is the distance between the water surfaces of two reservoirs.
______________________.
5. It is the distance between the EGL and the HGL. _______________________
6. A mechanical device which when installed in the pipe flow system will add energy to the
system. _________________________
7. A series of siphon pipes of uniform diameter are to draw water to irrigate the farm. The
pressure head at the summit of the siphon (considering the datum line at discharge end &
neglecting HL) is equal to ______________________________________
8. In fluid flow, if the fluid travels parallel to the adjacent layers and the paths of individual
particles do not cross, the flow is said to be ___________________________________
9. In pipe flow, the horsepower of the pump can be computed as the function of
____________.
10. The machine installed in the pipe that is used to convert the energy of flow into mechanical
work is ____________________.
