Two tanks A and B are connected by a pipe 30 m long. The first 21 m has a diameter of 75 mm and  then is suddenly reduced to 50 mm for the next 9 m. The difference of levels between the tank water  levels is 2.40 m. Pipe coefficient f=0.005 and the contraction coefficient at sudden change in area is 0.58.  Find all the losses, in terms of velocity v2 at exit from the 50 mm2 pipe and hence find rate of flow. Draw  the Hydraulic gradient line.

Two tanks A and B are connected by a pipe 30 m long. The first 21 m has a diameter of 75 mm and 
then is suddenly reduced to 50 mm for the next 9 m. The difference of levels between the tank water 
levels is 2.40 m. Pipe coefficient f=0.005 and the contraction coefficient at sudden change in area is 0.58. 
Find all the losses, in terms of velocity v2 at exit from the 50 mm2
pipe and hence find rate of flow. Draw 
the Hydraulic gradient line.
