Fluid Flow in Pipes A 4km long pipeline, 88 cm in diameter connects two fresh water open reservoirs A and B, with water surface elevations at 75m and 50m respectively. In order to increase the rate of flow between the reservoirs by exactly one third, the assigned engineering team decided to lay an additional pipeline with the same diameter from the upper reservoir. The 2nd pipeline is to lie parallel to the original pipeline with length L (from the upper reservoir to a certain point in the 4km pipeline) which produces this increase in flow. If roughness coefficient is 0.018, determine the a. weight flowrate of the original pipeline (original system) b. mass flowrate of the additional pipeline c. length L of the second pipeline measured from the upper reservoir

A 170-m long pipeline, composed of two pipes connected in series, discharges freely at a point 40 m below the water level at intake. The pipe projects into the reservoir. The first 100 m is 25 cm in diameter, and the remaining 70 m is 15 cm in diameter. Assuming that f=0.05 for both pipes, (a) find the rate of flow. If the junction of the two sizes of pipe is 25 m below the intake water-surface level, find the pressure head just above C and just below C, where C denotes the point of junction. Assume a sudden contraction at C. Use k=0.8 for entrance, 0.24 for sudden contraction and 1.0 for exit. I will downvote the incorrect solution
