Two new cast-iron pipes (ε = 0.26 mm) in series connect two reservoirs. Both pipesare 300 m long and have diameters of 0.6 m and 0.4 m, respectively. There is a valvein the 0.6 m diameter line with K = 10. The elevation of water surface in reservoir A is80 m. The discharge of 10°C water from reservoir A to reservoir B is 0.5 m3/s. Find theelevation of the surface of reservoir B. Assume a sudden contraction at the junctionand the entrance and exit is sharp.
Water is pumped between two reservoirs in a pipeline with the following characteristics; (d= 300mm, L= 70m, /= 0.025, minor loss coefficient: YK=2.5). The pump performance curve is approximated by the equation: H,=22.9-650° Where H, is in meters and Q is in m's. Determine the discharge Q and pump head A when two pumps in series are used for total static head (4Z=25m).
6 cm-diameter commercial steel pipeline is used to transport water at 10⁰C from a reservoir to a free discharge point. The pipeline consists of 85 m straight pipe, 2 wide open gate valves, 1 wide open angle valve, 4 standart 90⁰ elbows, 1 entrance from a reservoir and 1 free discharge. The elevation of the entrance is 10 m while the elevation of the discharge is 35 m. The inlet pressure is 20 psig and exit pressure is 0 psig. A pump is installed in the line to move the water. Calculate the pump work (J/kg) so the volumetric flow rate will be Q= 0.01 m3/s. (1 psi = lbf/in2).

A fully-filled open storage tower of height 32 m and diameter 3.0m supplies water to a house. A horizontal pipe at the base of the tower has a diameter of 2.54cm.

The slide manufacturer recommends acontinuous water flow rate Q of 1.39 x 10-3 m3/s (about22 gal/min) down the slide, to ensure that the customers donot burn their bottoms. A pump is to be installed under theslide, with a 5.00-m-long, 4.00-cm-diameter hose supplyingswimming pool water for the slide. The pump is80 percent efficient and will restfully submerge 1.00 mbelow the water surface. The roughness inside the hose isabout 0.0080 cm. The hose discharges the water at the topof the slide as a free jet open to the atmosphere. The hoseoutlet is 4.00 m above the water surface.
