Water flows from one large reservoir to another via a pipeline which is 0.9 m in diameter, 15km long, and for which f-0.04. The difference in height between the water surface levels in the two reservoirs is 50m. (a) Ignoring the minor losses in the pipeline, calculate the flow rate between the two reservoirs. (b) Assuming that the pipeline entrance and exit are sharp and that the minor losses are as in Table 1, calculate the discharge now. What is...
Please show full working so I can understand how to do each step. Thank you in advance! Two reservoirs with their water levels 15m apart are connected with two pipes in series. The pipe that leaves the upper reservoir is 200mm diameter, 200m long and has a friction factor of 0.003. This pipe then connects to a 100mm diameter pipe that is 300m long with a friction factor of 0.00146. The fittings to consider are: Sudden entrance from tank to...
P.2 The reservoirs in Fig. are connected by cast-iron pipes (e=0.00015ft) joined abruptly, with sharp-edged entrance and exit. Excluding minor losses, estimate the flowrate of water at 20°C ( u = 2.09x10- slug / ft.s ) if the surface of reservoir 1 is 45 ft higher than that of reservoir 2. D = 2 in L = 20 ft 1 in 2 in D=1 in L = 20 ft
[Problem 3] Two reservoirs are connected using the piping network shown in the figure. The pipes are commercial steel. water is to be pumped using a pump (efficiency = 70%) that draws 8 kw of electric power from the mains. Ignore minor losses. Determine the flow rate through each pipe and the total flow between the reservoirs. Start with a friction factor of 0.02 for all pipes and use the Haaland equation to calculate updated friction factors. Ignore the length...
(b) Figure Q3 shows a design of a plumbing system to be used in a new building. Water at 20°C is free to be pumped from reservoir A to another reservoir B at a higher elevation through two 30 m long pipes connected in parallel on a common elevation level. The difference between the water surface elevations is 10 m. The pipes are made of commercial brass and the diameters of the two pipes are 4 cm and 8 cm....

Water at 15 C is drained from a large reservoir using two horizontal plastic pipes connected in series. The first pipe is 13 m long and has a 10-cm diameter, while the second pipe is 35 m long and has a 5-cm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 18 m above the centerline of the pipe. The pipe entrance is sharp-edged, and the contraction between the two pipes is sudden. Neglecting the effect of the kinetic energy correction...
Problem 3 A pipeline delivers water from Reservoir 1 to Reservoir 2 as shown in the following figure. The water levels at Reservoirs 1 and 2 are 50 ft and 20 ft, respectively. A globe valve is installed in the pipeline with a minor head loss coefficient k 10. The pipe from Reservoir 1 to the globe valve is 1000 ft long and 6 inches in diameter. The pipe from the globe valve to Reservoir 2 is also 1000 ft...
Question 23 Glycerine at 30°C is flowing between two large reservoirs. These reservoirs have differences in the level of 10 m and connected through a plastic pipe. This pipe is 75 m long and goes up to a height of 3 m above the upper reservoir for a distance of 25 m where its diameter is 50 cm from the sharp-edged' entrance. The average velocity of glycerine along this distance is 62.79 m/s. After 5 m declining from the highest...
QUESTION3 The Figure below (Figure 3) shows a pipe system with a valve and two reservoirs. A pump transports a constant flow rate of Q = 0.1 m3/s of water from reservoir A to reservoir B. At four sections the pipe has bends and the roughness of the pipe is ks = 1.5 mm. The pipe has a diameter D = 34 cm and a total length L = 500 m. The water level in reservoir B is Δh=4.67 m above...
