Problem 2 (40 pts) Water flows through a horizontal pipe at a rate of 0.0025 m3/s. The pipe consists of two sections of diameters D = 0.18 m and d = 0.06 m with a smooth contracting section. The pressures at the two pipe sections (designated as 1 and 2 in the figure) are measured by pressure gauges. The reading at section 1 gives P1 = 1,000 Pascals. Neglecting frictional effects, determine the following: The average velocities at sections 1 and 2, which are v1 and v2, respectively, in m/s. The value of P2, in Pascals

A building with a non-structural interior wall and an opening is exposed to a transverse load of w = 355 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the collector force at the edge of the opening (point A)? Let L = 46 ft, a = 30 ft, b = 16 ft, be = 30 ft, and bi = 10 ft, bo = 12.5 ft.

Problem 1 (60 pts) A novel media for stem cell culture is being developed. To study its flow characteristics (important during mixing in a bioreactor), experiments are performed using the set-up below. The liquid undergoes laminar flow between two flat plates both from the application of a constant pressure gradient

A single-story wood-frame building is exposed to a wind load of wU = 350 lb/ft. For simplicity, assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it, and that the building has no windows or doors. Let L = 52 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 8.5 ft. What is the unit shear in the shear walls?

A building with a non-structural interior wall and an opening is exposed to a transverse load of w = 325 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the collector force at the edge of the opening (point A)? Let L = 56 ft, a = 40 ft, b = 16 ft, be = 40 ft, and bi = 13 ft, bo = 15.5 ft.

A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 360 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the maximum chord force? Let L = 24 ft, a = 20 ft, b = 4 ft, be = 10 ft, and bi = 3 ft.
