Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 55P
Water flows from one reservoir in a 200-mm pipe, while water flows from a second reservoir in a 150-mm pipe. The two pipes meet in a “tee” junction with a 300-mm pipe that discharges to the atmosphere at an elevation of 20 m. If the water surface in the reservoirs is at 30 m elevation. what is the total flow rate?

One of them has a diameter D, and the other a diameter d.if the pipes are arranged in parallel, the loss of head when a total quantity of water Q flows through them is h, but, if the pipes are arranged in series and the same quantity Q flows through them, the loss of head is H. If ?=?/2, find the ratio of H to h, neglecting secondary losses and assuming the pipe coefficient f has a constant value. b) A pipeline of 0.6m diameter is 1.5km long.To increase the discharge, another line of the same diameter is introduced parallel to the first in the second half of the length.Neglecting minor losses, find the increase in discharge if 4f = 0.04.
