1. An existing pipeline 0.50 m in diameter carries a flow of 0.40 m³/s between the reservoirs, the length of the pipe being 6000 m. Forecasts of future demand predict a flow requirement of 1.0 m3/s by year 2022, and it is intended to transport the additional flow by a second pipe placed parallel with the existing pipe over the entire 6000 m length. There is an immediate need , however, to provide a flow of 0.60 m³/s so it is decided to lay the second pipe parallel to the first pipe. a) Determine the second pipe diameter (inches) having equal length to satisfy the immediate need assuming the head difference between the two reservoirs is constant. b) Determine the length of the second pipe (m) laid parallel to satisfy the immediate need if laid a part of the way in the first pipe only. Use the diameter computed in a). c) Compute the difference in elevation between the reservoirs assuming f=0.02.

A 3.5-cm-diameter pipe leaves a reservoir of surface elevation 80 m and drops to elevation 47 m, where it terminates into the atmosphere through a 1-cm-diameter nozzle. If the total head lost through the pipe and nozzle is 5 m, calculate the flowrate in m3/s
Please answer only if you are confident in your answer.
Fluid Flow in Pipes A 4km long pipeline, 88 cm in diameter connects two fresh water open reservoirs A and B, with water surface elevations at 75m and 50m respectively. In order to increase the rate of flow between the reservoirs by exactly one third, the assigned engineering team decided to lay an additional pipeline with the same diameter from the upper reservoir. The 2nd pipeline is to lie parallel to the original pipeline with length L (from the upper reservoir to a certain point in the 4km pipeline) which produces this increase in flow. If roughness coefficient is 0.018, determine the a. weight flowrate of the original pipeline (original system) b. mass flowrate of the additional pipeline c. length L of the second pipeline measured from the upper reservoir
A production well was discharged and tested through an atmospheric silencer at sea level (1 bar absolute) using a lip pipe with a diameter of 24.5 cm and a weir box with a 90 ° V-notch weir. The well was flowing at a wellhead pressure of 7 bar gauge and the measured lip pipe pressure and weir height were 3 bar gauge and 0.11 m, respectively. Calculate the discharge enthalpy and total mass flow of the well.

A confined aquifer has a transmissivity, T, of 30 m2/day and a storage coefficient, S, of 0.0008. A production well of radius, r, 0.2 m is pumped at 200 litres/min for 4 days and shut off. Calculate the maximum drawdown and the drawdown 10 days after the start of pumping at the well. Note: Calculate the result rounded to the second digit after the decimal point.

A dam supplies to a suburban area using a 0.21m diameter pipeline that is 800m long. For the water to reach the intended reservoir, a pump is needed to raise the flow to a point 125m above the pump. If the flow within the pipe is 0.11 m3/s, determine the savings in horsepower if the engineers decided to replace the old pipe (f = 0.034 with a new 0.29m diameter pipe with f = 0.024.
