Question 4 Water flows upwards in a vertical (plane) pipe line of gradually varying cross section from point 1 to point 2, which is 1.5 m above point 1, at the rate of 0.9 m³/s. At section 1 the pipe dia is 0.5 m and pressure is 800 kpa. If pressure at section 2 is 600 kpa determine the pipe diameter at that location. (neglect the losses) tt thele loloses)

Problem 1 You are designing a storm drain for a new parking lot. The topographic conditions at the site restrict the pipe slope to be approximately 0.013 (with up to 10 percent variation allowed). The storm drain needs to convey a design flowrate of 17 cfs. You are considering use of concrete pipe (n = 0.013) and corrugated steel pipe (n = 0.022). (a) Which size pipe and what slope would you specify in each case? Make your selection so the pipe is full, or nearly full, at the design flowrate. Available pipe diameters are those listed next to tic marks on the "circular channel - low Q cleaned up" that is posted at NYU Brightspace. Use this nomograph, NOT the one that is in the Powerpoint lesson because it has more resolution at lower flowrates. (b) What is the maximum flowrate (when full) that each of the pipes you specified in (a) can convey? (c) What is the velocity of the water when flowing full in each case?

Answer the following with (True) or (False): 1- The head loss in box culverts varied linearly with the Manning coefficient. 2- In the sliding gate design, the plate considered as a beam simply supported on tow wall. 3- The total head in open flow is equal to velocity head added to specific energy. 4- The head losses in the syphon decreased with increasing of bend angle. 5- In the floor design, Bligh method is most economic method.
