1. A test measurement of flow over a
standard weir 1.0 ft high in a flume 1.996 ft
wide at a head of 0.5171 ft showed a total
volume of 941.4 cu. ft. of water discharged in
362.3 sec. Assuming this measurement of
flow to be correct, compute the percentage
error in the discharge computed by each of
the weir equations.
14.43 An axial-flow pump is to be used to lift water against a head
(friction and static) of 15 ft. If the discharge is to be 5000 gpm,
what maximum speed in revolutions per minute is allowed if the
suction head is 5 ft?
28. A large tank contains water to a depth of 1.0 m. Water emerges from a small hole in
the side of the tank 20 cm below the water level. If the diameter of the hole is 0.50 cm,
what is the water flow rate from the hole? (Attach a solution) *
