27
Q

Amount of fluid passing through a section per unit of time

A

Discharge or flow rate

28
Q

This occurs when the discharge Q passing a given cross section is constant with time. if the flow Q at the cross section varies with time the flow is unsteady

A

Steady flow

29
Q

This usually occurs when an incompressible fluid flows through a stream with uniform cross section. In stream where the cross section and velocity changes the flow said to be non-uniform

A

Uniform flow

30
Q

This occurs when at any time the discharge Q at every section of the stream is the same

A

Continuous flow

31
Q

When the path of individual fluid particles do not cross or intersect. The reynold numbers is less than 2100

A

Laminar flow

32
Q

When the path of individual particles are regular and continuously cross each other. it normally occurs when the reynold numbers exceed 2,100

A

Turbulent flow

33
Q

Laminar flow in circular pipes can be maintained up to values of R as high as _______

A

50,000

34
Q

This occurs when in an incompressible fluid the direction and magnitude of the velocity at all points are an identical

A

One dimensional flow

35
Q

This occurs when the fluid particles move in planes or parallel planes and the streamline patterns are identical in each plane

A

Two dimensional flow

36
Q

These are imaginary curves drawn through a fluid to indicate the direction of motion in various section of the flow of the fluid system

A

Streamlines

37
Q

This represents elementary portions of a flowing fluid bounded by a group of streamlines which comfine the flow

A

Stream tubes

38
Q

These are drawn to indicate flow patterns in case of two dimensional flow or even three dimensional flow

A

Flow nets

39
Q

•Slopes downward in a direction of flow but it may rise or fall due to changes in velocity and pressure
•uniform 5 cross section hgl is parallel to egl
•for horizontal pipes with uniform diameter the drop in pressure heads between any two points is also equal to the head loss between these points

A

Hydraulic grade line

40
Q

• always load downward in the direction of flow and it will only rise with the presence of a pump
•the drop of the egl between any two points is the head loss between those points
•for uniform piper section egl is parallel to HGL
•EGL IS ALWAYS ABOVE THE HGL BY AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE VELOCITY HEAD

A

Characteristic of energy grade line

41
Q

The ratio of actual discharge to the device to the ideal or theoretical discharge which would appear without losses

A

Coefficient of discharge

42
Q

The ratio of the actual mean velocity to the ideal or theoretical velocity which should occur without any losses

A

Coefficient of velocity

43
Q

Ratio of the actual area of the contracting section of the stream or jed to the area of the opening through which the fluid flows

A

Coefficient of contraction

44
Q

Opening with a close perimeter through which fluid flows

A

Orifice

45
Q

Instrument used in measuring the discharge through pipes

A

46
Q

A converging tube installed at the end of the pipe or hose for the purpose of increasing the velocity of the issuing jet

A

Nozzle

47
Q

A belt tube with both ends open and is used to measure the velocity of fluid flow or velocity of air flow as used in airplanes speedometer. Most common shapes are l-shaped and u shape
