For the two-dimensional flow system shown below (units in meters):Compute the total flow rate under the Dam. X = 4, Y = 8. Note 1: Point A is located in the middle point of the equipotential lines. Point B is located in the middle point of the flow lines.Note 2: Assume e=0.8 (void ratio) and k=10^-3 cm/s (coeff. of permeability).Note 3: Datum is located at the bottom level of the water (right side of Dam).Note 4: Remember, the figure is drawn to scale. So, use the value of 2X+Y to estimate any dimension that you consider necessary.

Determine the pressure difference ?????? ?????−???? ?????= ?(kPa) between the two pipelines. Take the density of seawater at that location to be P = 1035 kg/m³. (2 decimal)
A Venturi meter with a throat of 15 cm is used to measure the flow rate of water along a horizontal pipe that has an internal diameter of 17 cm. The flowmeter is calibrated using a solution of salt with a concentration of 10 gl–1 fed upstream of the meter at a rate of 50millilitres per second. If the pressure difference between the upstream position and the throat is found to be 759 Nm–2 A when a sample of salt-bearing water was analysed downstream from the flowmeter and found to be 15 mgl–1 , determine the flow rate of waterthrough the pipeline and the coefficient of discharge of the flowmeter.

An aquifer slopes away from a river, as shown in Fig. 3-7 The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer which is 20 ft thick is known to be 0.2 ft/day. The water is 20 ft deep in the river, and the bottom of the trench is 30 ft below the bottom of the river and 600 ft away from the edge of the river. The trench is 40 ft deep. Will water flow out of the trench without pumping? If so, what will be the rate of flow?
