A domestic water preservation tank in a municipality is 13.5 m below the main reservoir. The water is supplied from the main reservoir through a 3 km pipeline that has a sudden contraction from 200 mm in diameter to 150 mm diameter. The contraction is at a point 1.5 m below the surface level of the main reservoir. The coefficient of friction for both sections of the pipeline is 0.005. At the contraction point, the pressure should not fall below the atmospheric pressure of 3 m of water. Neglecting all the minor losses, calculate the maximum allowable length from the contraction to the domestic tank.

A system pumps water from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir. The pipe diameter is 0.245 m and the pipe lengths are L1= 5 m, L2= 3 m, L3= 3 m, and L4= 0.3 m. The impeller of the centrifugal pump has a diameter of 0.5 m and operates at 900 rpm. The uniform blade height is 56 mm. The water enters the pump parallel to the pump shaft with a flow rate of 0.19 m3/s. Take viscosity as 0.00112 N s/m2. What would be the shaft power required to turn the impeller if the exit blade angle is 50 degrees. Work to 4 significant digits.

C2. A conical tube is fixed vertically with its smaller end upwards and it forms a part of the pipeline. The diameter at the smaller end is 245 mm and at the larger end is 467 mm. The length of the conical tube is 1.8 m and the flow rate of the oil is 128 liters/s. The pressure at the smaller end is equivalent to a head of 9.7 m of oil.
