5. Two large water reservoirs with a water level difference of 12 m are joined together with two pipes connected in series so that water flows from the upper reservoir to the lower one. The pipe exiting the upper reservoir is 200 mm in diameter, 300 m long, and has a friction factor of 0.024. The other pipe that enters the lower reservoir is 100 mm diameter, 100 m long and has a friction factor of 0.032. Considering all the shock losses (i.e. sudden entrance, contraction, and sudden exit - refer to the following table for respective K-values) and losses due to friction, compute the flow rate between the reservoirs and draw the HGL for the system.

Question
Transcribed Image Text:5. Two large water reservoirs with a water level difference of 12 m are joined together with two
pipes connected in series so that water flows from the upper reservoir to the lower one. The pipe exiting
the upper reservoir is 200 mm in diameter, 300 m long, and has a friction factor of 0.024. The other pipe
that enters the lower reservoir is 100 mm diameter, 100 m long and has a friction factor of 0.032.
Considering all the shock losses (i.e. sudden entrance, contraction, and sudden exit - refer to the
following table for respective K-values) and losses due to friction, compute the flow rate between the
reservoirs and draw the HGL for the system. (Note: Sketch the problem and show all your workings in
a clear and appropriate way).
