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
of the...
(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....
4. Figure 2 shows two reservoirs which are connected by three pipes of different diameters. The length and diameter of each pipe are given in Table 1. The flow rate in the pipeline is 55 Ls. The entrance and exit from the pipes are sharp and the change between the pipelines in the cross sections is sudden. Assume the friction factor, /for the pipes as 0.01.

Water (density 998 kg/mº, dynamic viscosity 0.001 Pa s) is pumped between two reservoirs at a volumetric flow rate of 0.006 m/s through a 120-m long pipe of 5 cm diameter. The roughness ratio of the pipe is a/d = 0.001. There are some fittings and valves in the pipe system, as shown in Figure Q1. The loss coefficients of the valves and fittings can be found in Table Q1. The Darcy friction factor can be found in the Moody...
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...
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...

Problem 4 (50 points) Water is discharged from a reservoir at a rate of 18.103 m3/s using two horizontal cast iron pipes connected in series and a pump between them. The first pipe is 20 m long and has a 6-cm diameter, while the second pipe is 35 m long and has a 4-cm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 30 m above the centerline of the pipe. The pipe entrance is sharp-edged. Losses...
The following figure depicts a pipe system connecting two reservoirs. No minor losses should be considered in this problem. Assume that y=62.4 lb/ft. The water surface elevation at Reservoir A is 24 feet, and at Reservoir Dthe water surface elevation is 100 feet. The pump supplies a head of He=100 feet.
