a) Find the steel pipe diameter required to convey a maximum of 500 lit/sec of water. The pipe length is 5 Km, the difference in head between pipe ends is 50 m, f = 0.02 and the minor losses is 30 v 2 /2g. b) What pipe diameter will be chosen from the market if the available diameters in the market are to the nearest 10 cm. c) What is the flow through the pipe you have chosen? d) If a valve is erected at the middle of the pipe length to adjust the flow to be exactly 0.3 m3 /sec, what would be the valve head loss?
