A 600 mm diameter pipe 900 m. long connected in series to a 40 cm diameter pipe, 625 m long is to take water from a reservoir with water surface elevation of 182.5 m and discharge it through a 15 cm diameter nozzle at elevation 60 m. The pipeline is to be constructed so that at point A, 1370 m. from the reservoir (along the pipeline), the pipe shall be 3.0 m below the hydraulic gradient. Compute for the discharge. Determine the power available in the jet of the nozzle. What will be the elevation of the pipe at A? Use f = 0.025 in all pipes and neglect minor losses.
