In a wide rectangular channel having a depth y = 1.8 m and unit width discharge q = 1.5 m²/s, an on-going construction project over the channel requires that a number of cylinder platforms (only two are shown in the plan view below) spaced at distance bị = 6 m be placed in the channel. Assume no energy losses between locations 1 and 2, determine the maximum diameter of the cylinders without creating upstream backwater effect (i.e., without increasing the upstream depth). bi

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.

An engineer is hired to design a swimming pool 15m long by 6m wide by 2m deep. For water supply, he decideds to lay 600m of 5cm pipe with f=0.020 from a nearby main to the pool. The pipe will discharge freely into the pool during the entire filling process. The average pressure at the water main is 550kpa and the difference in elevation between the two ends of the pipe is 10m, with the discharge end higher than the intake end. Assuming that 10% of the loss in the pipeline are due to transitions, fittings and valves, how long would it take to fill the swimming pool?
