1. Consider a branching pipeline system with diameter of 3ft where each pipe has a length of 5000ft. Assume friction factor =0.02 and that both pumps are identical. Pump characteristics are shown in the table below. Assume water surface elevations for the reservoirs are A=80ft, D=94ft. If the discharge in pipe BC is 20ft³/s (with flow from B to C), what is (A) discharge in AB and BD? (b) Water surface elevation in reservoir C? and (C) Head added by each pump?

Transcribed Image Text:1. Consider a branching pipeline system with diameter of 3ft where each pipe has a length of 5000ft.
Assume friction factor =0.02 and that both pumps are identical. Pump characteristics are shown in the
table below. Assume water surface elevations for the reservoirs are A=80ft, D=94ft. If the discharge in
pipe BC is 20ft/s (with flow from B to C), what is (A) discharge in AB and BD? (b) Water surface
elevation in reservoir C? and (C) Head added by each pump?
