A pipe of 50 mm diameter and 4,5 km length connects two reservoirs whose constant difference of water level is 12 m. A branch pipe 1,25 km long and taken from a point distance of 1,5 km from reservoir A, which leads to reservoir C whose water level is 15 m below that of reservoir A. Find the diameter of the branch pipe so that the flow into both the reservoirs is the same. Assume the coefficient of friction for each pipe, f=0.0075,and neglect minor losses.
For the system shown below, calculate the vertical distance (in meters) between the surfaces of the two reservoirs when water at 10°C flows from A to B at the rate of 0.03 m3/s. The elbows are standard. The inlet is inward projecting, and the exit is square edged. The total length of the 4-in pipe is 94 m. For the 6-in pipe it is 274 m.
A 25Hp suction pump operating at 56.30% efficiency draws water from a suction line whose diameter is 205mm and discharges into air through a line whose diameter is 155mm . The velocity in the 155mm line is 4m/s . If the pressure at point A in the suction pipe is -32kpa (negative sign indicate the pressure is below the atmosphere), where A is 1.8m below B on the 155mm line, determine the maximum elevation above B to which water can be raised assuming a head loss of 2.9m due to friction.
A certain hydro-power station has a head of 500m between the upper and lower reservoir . a. Determine the approach velocity of water as it enters the turbine; b. If the volume flow rate is 60 cumec, what is the diameter of the penstock; and c. If the head loss due to friction represents 10% of the static head in (a) determine the actual velocity of approach and the corrected diameter of the penstock required.
From a very large tank with an absolute pressure of 3 bar, the water is discharged to the atmosphere by means of 2 smooth pipes of 100 m length, 1 m and 50 m long, connected in series. The height difference between the water level in the tank and the outlet is 50m, and the diameters of the pipes are 50mm and 100mm, respectively. In addition, a 500kPa turbine is placed on the 2nd Pipe. a) Draw the system roughly, show the dimensions on it.b) Calculate the exit velocity of the water from the 2nd pipe, ignoring the local losses.
Water enters a motor through a 255-mm-diameter pipe under a pressure of 14 kPa. It leaves through a 1134-mm-diameter exhaust pipe with a pressure of 4 kPa. A vertical distance of 2.5 m separates the centers of the two pipes at the sections where the pressures are measured. If 346 liters of water pass the motor each second, compute the horsepower supplied to the motor.
Water from an open tank elevated 5m above ground is allowed to flow down to a pump. From the pump, it then flows horizontally through 100m of piping, and out into the atmosphere. If there are 2 standard elbows and one wide open gate valve in the discharge line, determine a) all friction losses in the system and b) the power requirement of the pump if it is to maintain 0.8 cubic meters per minute of flow. Assume a pump efficiency of 55%, and that friction is negligible in the pump suction line.
Assumptions of a discharge and a friction head loss through the series of pipe and the parallel of pipe are different. For pipes in series, the total discharge equals to the individual discharge in each pipe. For pipes in parallel, the total friction head loss equals to the individual friction head loss in each pipe. True or false
A horizontal 154 mm diameter pipe gradually reduces its section to 53 diameter, subsequently enlarging into 154 mm section. The pressure in the 154-mm pipe at a point just before entering the reducing section is 141 kPa and in the 53 mm section at the end of the reducer, the pressure is 73 kPa. If 627 mm of head is lost between the points where the pressure are known compute the rate of flow in L/s of water through the pipe.
A vertical reducing bend carries 0.455 m^3/s of water at a pressure of 148kPa entering the bend at A. The diameter of A is 0.60m while that of B is 0.30 m.

The diameter of a pipe line is 6 inch at A and 18 inch at B. A is 11 ft lower than B. If the pressure at A is 10 lb per sq in and at B 7 lb per sq inch when the gasoline (sp gr = 0.728) flow is 2.5 cfs, determine the friction loss between A and B.
