A gardener is thinking of installing piping system for watering the plants in his garden located
near a water reservoir. The reservoir is located at an elevation of 150 m above from the surface,
as shown in figure.
Pipe inlet (Sharp-edged)
Water Reservoir
Smooth bends (Flanged)
150 m
Gate valve (fully opened)
Pipe exit (Sharp-edged)
The diameter of pipe (cast iron) is constant equal to 15 cm and total length of pipe is 180 m. It is
desirable that the exit velocity of water to the garden should not exceed 5 m/sec and water is at
atmospheric pressure and temperature is 20°C. Solve the following cases:
Case 1
The gardener is planning to open the valve for 3 hours daily. Calculate the followings:
a) How much volume of liquid can be drawn from reservoir in a day?
b) How much total irreversible head loss will be occurred in the system?
