Q. 12. A pitot tube mounted on an aircraft is connected to a pressure gauge which reads a
pressure of 12.5 kN/m2. Determine the flying speed of the aircraft? Density of air at that height
can be taken as 1.290 kg/m3. (501.16 kmph)
Q. 13. A rotameter uses a cylindrical float of 3.5 cm height, 3.5 cm diameter and density of
3900 kg/m3. The maximum inside diameter of the metering tube is 5 cm. Determine the
maximum flow rate handling capacity of the rotameter if the fluid is water. Assume CD = 0.7.

Q. 14. A cylindrical float (volume: 500 mm3, diameter: 15 mm) is used with a tapered glass tube
to measure the flow rate. The tube allows vertical range of movement of 250 mm and the float is
made from aluminium of relative density 2.7. Its included angle taper is 5 and the internal
diameter of the measuring tube at the bottom is 18 mm. Determine the range of flow of this
setup if paraffin is used as a process fluid which has a relative density of 0.8. (28.22 to 1022.75
cc/s)
Q. 15. A nozzle is fitted in a horizontal pipe of diameter 15 cm, carrying a gas of density 1.15
kg/m3, for the purpose of flow measurement. The differential pressure indicated by the U-tube
manometer containing oil of specific gravity 0.8 is 10 cm. If the coefficient of discharge and
diameter of the nozzle are 0.8 and 5 cm, respectively, determine the flow of gas through the
nozzle flow meter. (0.0583 m3/s)
