A pipeline of 50 mm diameter and 4.5 km length connects two reservoirs whose constant difference of water level is 12 m. A branch pipe 1.25 km long and taken from a point distance of 1.5 km from reservoir A, leads to reservoir C whose water level is 15 m below that of reservoir A. Find the diameter of the branch pipe so that the flow into both the reservoirs is the same. Assume the coefficient of friction for each pipe, ƒ = 0.0075, and neglect minor losses.

An engineer is hired to design a swimming pool 15 m long by 6 m wide by 2 m deep. For water supply, he decides to lay 600 m of 5 cm pipe with f = 0.020 from a nearby main to the pool. The pipe will discharge freely into the pool during the entire filling process. The average pressure at the water main is 550 kPa and the difference in elevation between the two ends of the pipe is 10 m, with the discharge end higher than the intake end. Assuming that 10 % of the loss in the pipeline are due to transitions, fittings, and valves, how long will it take to fill the swimming pool?
A cylindrical tank with its axis horizontal has a length of 6 m and the ends of the tank are vertical planes, as shown in Figure Q2 (a).

SITUATION 4: Water is drained from a large reservoir using two horizontal pipes connected in series. The first pipe is 20 m long and has a 10-cm diameter, while the second pipe is 35 m long and has a 4- cm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 18 m above the center line of the pipe. The pipe entrance is a sharp edged, and the contraction between the two pipes is sudden. Neglecting the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, determine the discharge rate of water from the reservoir. Assume the friction factor for all pipes is equal to 0.02 and the loss coefficient is 0.05 for a sharp edged entrance, and is 0.46 for sudden contraction. 18 m Oil tank 20 m 35 m
An oil flow rate of 0.012 m³/s is required in an industrial process. The flow system includes a pressure tank pushing the oil through 200 m of new ductile iron pipe (DIP: 15 cm diameter, square-edged entrance) to point "2" (atmospheric pressure) as shown in Figure P3.11.11. The sur face of the fluid in the tank (point "1") is at elevation 100 m and the end of the pipe (point "2") is at elevation 106 m. What air pressure will be needed over the fluid to produce the requisite flow? (S.G. (oil) = 0.84, v 2.03 x 106 m²/s, and e = 0.00012 m.)
Consider the figure shown below. If the flow rate of water from the tank is 0.03 m/s, the pressure at point 2 is 120kPa. Height of water in the tank is 4m and the pipe diameter is 160mm with a friction factor of 0.020. Solve for the height h if the branch line is shut off, and if the branch line is open so that half of the flow from the tank goes into the branch and half continues in the main line. Determine the difference in the head losses in both directions. Neglect minor losses. Vent | 4m 160mmø pipe Branch Line B A 1.75m Main Line 300m 200m ANSWER: a. h = 13.918m, b. h = 10.585m c.
