Chapter 8, Problem 77P
A 12-in.-diameter pipe leaves a reservoir of surface elevation 300 at elevation 250 and drops to elevation 150, where it terminates in a 3-in.-diameter nozzle. If the head lost through line and nozzle is 30 ft, calculate the flow rate.

Calculate the total head of the system below. Assume a flow of 70 m³/h and that the pressure drops in the suction and discharge are 3 m and 4 m, respectively. ZA = 15m, ZB = 5m and ZC = 5m.
Oil relative density (rd = 0.88) flows in an inclined pipe at a rate of 0.15 m/s as shown in Fig. If the differential reading in the mercury manometer is 915 mm, calculate the power that the pump supplies to the oil if head losses are negligible.
For this siphon the elevations at A, B, C, and D are: 30 m, 32 m, 27 m, and 26 m, respectively. The head loss between the inlet and point B is three-quarters of the velocity head, and the head loss in the pipe itself between point B and the end of the pipe is one-quarter of the velocity head. For these conditions, what is the discharge and what is the pressure at point B? The pipe diameter 25 cm.
