A tank is going to be installed at the top of a hill to serve an industrial park located at the base of the hill. The bottom of the tank is estimated to be 200 ft above the point of connection to the water main in the industrial park served by the elevated tank. It is further estimated that the pipe from the tank to the centre of the industrial park will be 500 ft in length including equivalent lengths for fittings and valves. What is the maximum water flow that would be available at the centre of the industrial park if the pipe material is lined ductile iron (Hazen- Williams C-factor of 140) with an actual inside diameter of 8.27 in.? Note that no other pressure producing devices, such as pumps, will be used.

A pump is being utilized to deliver a flow rate of 500 li/sec from a reservoir of surface elevation of 65 m to another reservoir of surface elevation 95 m. The total length and diameter of the suction and discharge pipes are 500 mm, 1500 m and 30 mm, 1000 m respectively. Assume a head lose of 2 me- ters per 100 m length of the suction pipe and 3 m per 100 m length of the discharge pipe. What is the required horsepower of the pump? PLEASE INCLUDE FIGURE AND DERIVATION
Water enters the lock of a ship canal through 200 ports, each port having a 2 ft x 2 ft cross-section. The lock is 900 ft long and 85 ft wide. The lock is designed so that the water surface in it will rise at a maximum rate of 5 ft/min. For this condition, (a) what is the rate of flow (ft/s) (b) What will be the mean velocity (ft/s) in each port? 85 m 900 m Port Water entering the canal
A single acting reciprocating pump has a plunger of diameter 250 mm and a stroke of 350 mm. If the speed of the pump is 60 rpm and it delivers 16.5 lit/sec of water against a suction head of 5 m and a delivery head of 20 m, what is the co- efficient of discharge?

While planning a future expansion, a water distribution pipe will be replaced as shown in Figure 2. The current plan is for the new configuration to have the same head-loss between points A and B once the new pipes are laid. Considering that the physical characteristics of these new pipes will be identical to the previously laid pipe (L, D, CHW), (A) what will the new operational flow be? After years of wear and tear while operating above the required flow, the pipes have prematurely degraded. The Hazen-Williams coefficients have dropped to: CHW₁= 130, CHW2= 135, CHW3= 125. You must now (B) quantify the head-loss between points A and B for an operational flow of 200 l/s.

QUESTION 5 Q2. Two water pipelines converge into one line of 2.5m diameter. a). What is the velocity of water flowing in the converged line if the discharges and diameters of the converging lines are 1 m3/s with an 800mm pipe and 0.5 m³/s with a 500mm pipe? (m/s) b). What is the mass flowrate under these conditions? (kg/s) c). What percentage change in velocity would there be in the converged pipe if the diameter of the pipe was reduced by 20%? Take the density of water to be 103 kg/m3. Part a). is denoted Q5, part b). as Q6 and part c). as Q7
A dam supplies to a suburban area using a 0.21m diameter pipeline that is 800m long. For the water to reach the intended reservoir, a pump is needed to raise the flow to a point 125m above the pump. If the flow within the pipe is 0.11 m3/s, determine the savings in horsepower if the engineers decided to replace the old pipe (f = 0.034 with a new 0.29m diameter pipe with f = 0.024.
