Three pipes of 400 mm, 200 mm and 300 mm diameters have lengths of 400 m, 200 m, and 300 m respectively. They are connected in series to make a compound pipe. The ends of this compound pipe are connected with two tanks whose difference of water levels is 16 m. If co-efficient of friction for these pipes is same and equal to 0.005, determine the discharge through the compound pipe neglecting first the minor losses and then including them.

Water is pumped from a reservoir to a pressurized storage tank (P = 150 kPa gauge) atop a building by means of a centrifugal pump. There is a 70-m difference in elevation between the water surface in the reservoir and the end of the discharge line. The piping system consists of 80m of 5" SCH 40 steel pipe containing two 90o elbows, one gate valve, one rotary water meter, and six couplings from the reservoir to the pump; 3" SCH 40 steel pipe for 86m to the tank.
