1. A 52-inch diameter transmission pipe carries 3,000 gallons per minute from an elevated storage tank with a water surface elevation of 1,345.6 feet. Six miles from the tank, at an elevation of 901.2 feet, a pressure meter reads 72 psi. If there are no pumps between the tank and the meter location, what is the rate of headloss in the pipe?

A cylindrical tank of water is 20 m in diameter and 3.5 m tall. There is a 1.0 cm diameter hole at the bottom from which water is leaking. A feeder pipe at the top of the tank, 4.0 m above the ground delivers water at a rate of 0.02 m/min. Ir the tank is initially half full, tal what is the water flow rate in m^3/sec from the top feeder pipe? (bi what is the pressure at the bottom of the tank? (Hint: Bernoul's principle) () what is the water speed at the bottom? (d) what is the leaking flow rate at the bottom? fe) at what rate is the volume of water changing? (Assume the tank is open to air at the top)
There are two vertical cylindrical tanks, one 16 meters in diameter and the other is 24 meters in diameter, both stands on the same horizontal plane, and is connected by a 0.30 meter pipe at their bases. When the valve in the pipe is closed, the depth of water in the small tank is 30 meters and the other tank is 8 meters. If the pipe valve is opened, what is the equal depth in each tank?

2.10. Water leaves a treatment plant in a 500-mm diameter ductile-iron pipeline at a pressure of 600 kPa and at a flow rate of 0.50 m³/s. If the elevation of the pipeline at the treatment plant is 120 m, estimate the pressure in the pipeline 1 km downstream where the elevation is 100 m. Assess whether the pressure in the pipeline would be sufficient to serve the top floor of a 10-story building (approximately 30 m high).

Compute the head loss in a 5 inches pipe if it is necessary to maintain a pressure of 36.5 psi at a point upstream and 7 ft below where the pipe discharges water into the atmosphere at the rate of 1.963 cfs. Show the diagram.
A municipality wants to determine the flow rate into the plant based on pipe size, elevation difference, and assumed roughness, for the water supply reservoir is shown in the figure below. The pipe is an old 4-inch diameter Cast Iron with a Hazen Roughness coefficient of 100 & 223 feet long. The difference in elevation is 62 feet. The pipe has a strainer at the entrance (k-1.9), a valve (k=8.6), a check valve (k = 2:7) and 3- 90° bends (k-0.83). The flow exits into a receiving pond at the WTP. Provide the flow rate in Gallons Minute. per WTP Az
Gravity pressure systems are inherently associated with elevated storage. A storage facility provides reservoir in which the inflow and outflow of water can better match the hourly consumer demand and can be a supply source during emergency situations such as interruptions in the normal supply service or heavy demands for firefighting. Describe the gravity pressure systems, as you describe the two types of tanks that maybe used in this system
