2) Density
3) Specific gravity 3) Specific gravity
Solution:
1) Unit weight Sp. Gr =

Sp. Gr. = 0.85

 8,357.14 N/ m3 Note: N = kg m/s2


2) Density
 , .
= = 852 kg/m3
.
Problem 2. The volume of a tetrachloride having a mass of 1200 kg
is 0.952 m3. Compute the following
1) Mass density
2) Specific Weight
3) Specific gravity

Solution: 3) Specific gravity

 =
.
.
2) Specific Weight Sp. Gr =
.
.
 = = 12.36 kN/m3
.
Sp. Gr. = 1.26
 Problem 3. The head loss of a 120m length of tube having a
diameter of 10mm is 30m, Oil flows through the tube at a
Reynolds Number of 1800.
1) Compute the friction factor
2) Compute the kinematic viscosity of the fluid in m2/s
3) Compute the discharge in liters/min.

Solution:
Friction factor:
Re = 1800

= = 0.036
Compute the kinematic viscosity of the fluid in m2/s

Solution:
Given:
hf = 30; f= 0.036; L – 120m, D= 0.010m
Kinematic viscosity

m/s  6.5 x 10-6 m2/s


Compute the discharge in liters/min.

Solution:
Given:
hf = 30; f= 0.036; L – 120m, D= 0.010m
Discharge in liters/m
AV Note:
(1.17)
1 minute = 60 seconds
m3/s 1 cubic meter = 1000 liters
