Question
1. A 4km long pipeline, 88 cm in diameter connects two fresh water open reservoirs A and b, with ater surface
elevations at 75m and 50m respectively. In order to increase the rate of flow between the reservoirs by exactly
30%, 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 X (from the upper reservoir to a
certain point in the 4km pipeline) which produces this increase in flow. If C=110, determine the
a. flowrate of the original pipeline (original system)
b. flowrate in the additional pipeline
c. length "X" of the second pipeline measured from the upper reservoir
