(a) A pipe (K = 2.07x10° N/m2 dan E = 20.7x10 N/m², C1=1.0) with a length...
A transmission pipeline that conveys water from an upstream reservoir to a downstream reservoir is indicated below. The transmission main has a valve along its length that controls the discharge in the system. The discharge through the valve is computed with the valve equation below. The pipeline has a length of 4,500 m, a Hazen-Williams 'C' factor of 110, and an inner diameter of 450 mm. The upstream reservoir has a water level of 105 m. The valve discharge constant...
Q2 A 200 mm diameter cast iron pipe with wall thickness of 15 mm is carrying water when the outlet is suddenly closed. Calculate the maximmum discharge if the pressure rise is not to exceed 180 kN/m2 (a) assuming the pipe is rigid; (b) allowing for hoop stress but not longitudinal stress in the pipe wall; (c) assuming the pipe to have expansion joints throughout its length. (K-2.1 × 109 N/m 2, E 100x 109 N/m2) Q2 A 200 mm...
