Question

Three pipes of 400 mm, 350 mm and 300 mm diameter are connected in series between two reservoirs with a difference in level of 12 m. The friction factors are 0.024, 0.021 and 0.019 respectively. The lengths are 200 m, 300 m and 250 m respectively.

Which of the following statements is TRUE. 

*The discharge in pipe 1, 2 and 3 are equal.
*The head loss in pipes 1, 2 and 3 are equal.
*The total head loss is negligible.
*The largest pipe will have the largest head loss

The flow in m^3/s in PIPE 3 is nearest to...

*0.04
*0.2
*0.3
*0.1

What is the head loss in meters in pipe 3?

*6.474 m
*15.458 m
*2.785 m
*7.755 m

Determine the length of an equivalent 350mm diameter pipe. 

*906.123 m
*1545.812 m
*417.236 m
*402.582 m
