The exam is closed book and closed notes. Only one formula sheet is allowed.

1. Air at 110 kPa and 50C (=1.19kg/m3) flows upward through a 6-cm-diameter inclined duct at a rate of
0.045 m3/s. The duct diameter is then reduced to 4 cm through a reducer. The pressure change across the
reducer is measured by a water manometer (water=1000kg/m3). The elevation difference between the two
points on the pipe where the two arms of the manometer are attached is 0.20 m. Determine the differential
height between the fluid levels of the two arms of the manometer. (g=9.81 m/s2)

2. Water flows steadily in a pipe and exists as a free jet (p=patm) through an end cap that contains a filter.
The flow is in a horizontal plane. The axial component Ry of the anchoring force needed to keep the end
cap stationary is 60 lb. (a) Determine the pressure inside the pipe (before the end cap). (b) Determine the
head loss for the flow through the end cap. (water=1.94slugs/ft3; g=32.2 ft/s2)

3. Water (water=1000kg/m3) is flowing through a 12-cm-diameter pipe that consists of a 3-m-long vertical
and 2-m-long horizontal section with a 90 elbow at the exit to force the water to be discharged downward,
as shown in the figure, in the vertical direction. Water discharges to atmospheric air at a velocity of 4 m/s,
and the mass of the pipe section when filled with water is 15 kg per meter length. (a) Determine the
moment acting at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal sections of the pipe (point A). (b) What
would the moment if the flow were discharged upward instead of downward? (g=9.81 m/s2)
