A steel pipe is used to drain water from a reservoir that is 50 m above the datum, and water is discharged into the air at the elevation of the datum. The pipe is 1500 m long and 450 mm diameter and 50 mm wall thickness. A valve is installed at the downstream end of the pipe allows a flow rate of 0.71 m³/s.

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?

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
