Subject code:
Time: 1 hour
.THEORY: - A small hole made inside or bottom of the tank is called orifice.

HYDRAULIC CO-EFFICIENTS ARE

1. Co-efficient of velocity.
2. Co-efficient of Discharge.


2. CO-EFFICIENT OF DISCHARGE (C
d
):- It is defined as the ration of actual discharge from
an orifice to the theoretical discharge. It is denoted by C
d

Qact = Actual discharge
Qth = Theoretical Discharge

Mathematically

Q actual is measured by with the help of collecting tank/ measuring tank.
If L = Length of collecting tank
B = Breadth of collecting tank
Then A = Area of tank in m
2

& d = Depth of collecting tank in m.
t = Time of collection

Q2) 1,75,000lb/hr of distilled water enters an exchanger at 930 F and leaves at 850 F. The heat
will be transferred to 2,80,000 lb/hr of raw water supplied at 750 F and leave the exchanger at
800 F at 10 psi pressure drop may be expected on both the streams while Rd= 0.0005 for the
distilled water and 0.0015 for raw water. When the tube velocity exceeds 6FPS available for this
service is a 15.25 ID exchanger having 160 3.25 OD 18BWG 16 ft long tubes laid out on
15/16 triangular pitch. The bundle is arranged for 2 passes and baffles are spaced 12 apart will
the exchanger be suitable? (25 Marks)
Q1) 6900 lb/hr of 260 API lubricating oil must be cooled from 4500-3500F by 72500 lb/hr of
340 API midcontinent crude oil. The crude will be heated from 3000-3100 F. A fouling factor of
0.003 should be provided for each stream
