Water flows through a set of pipes from a reservoir to the point of use, 12.5 m below thewater surface of the reservoir. The first pipe has a diameter and length of 125 mm and 20 mrespectively. The second pipe has a diameter of 175 mm. Determine the length of the secondpipe if a flow rate of 0.065 m3/s is required at the outlet of the second pipe. The first pipehas a friction coefficient of 0.008 (Darcy) and the second pipe has a friction coefficient of0.005 (Darcy). Consider all losses.
Water flows from Reservoir A (Elev 125 m.) to a turbine (Elev 67 m.) then discharges into tailtrace B (Elev 26 m.) as shown. The head loss from (A) to (1) is 2 times the velocity head in the pipe, and the head loss from (2) to (b) is 1.97 times the velocity head in the pipe.
