A reservoir of water is connected to an 8-inch-diameter pipe 50 feet long and discharging freely.
4.
The water surface elevation of the reservoir is 410.0, and the elevation of the center of the pipe
at its discharge end is 372.5. Neglecting friction, determine the velocity, v, and discharge, Q, at
the end of the pipe.?

Expert Solution
Step 1 GIVEN DATA

Discharge Q=100 gpm=100 cm3/minutedia of pipe d1=6 inch=15.24 cm,      Area  A1=π4×15.242=192.11 cm2                      d2=4inch =10.16 cm,     Area  A2=π4×10.152=80.9 cm2
