Question

Darcy-Weisbach

A 200mm diameter pipeline,5000m long and of effective roughness 0.03mm delivers water between reservoirs the minimum difference in water level between which is 40m.

a) Taking only friction,entry and velocity head losses into account,determine the steady discharge between the reservoirs.

b)If the discharge is to be increased to 5 l/s without increase in gross head determine the length of 200mm diameter pipeline of effective roughness 0.015mm to be fitted in parallel.Consider only friction losses.
