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 convergent mouthpiece is discharging water under a constant head of 5 metres. If the diameter of the mouthpiece is 75 mm, then what is the discharge? (a) 38.2 litres/sec (b) 40.4 litres/sec (c) 43.8 litres/sec (d) 46.1 litres/sec
An intake tower located in a cold climate reservoir is being designed for a winter design flow rate of 18,000 m3/day. The tower will have 6 ports at three different elevations in each cell. All the ports combined must carry the total required discharge.There is a bar rack on each port with a bar diameter of 2 cm with a clear opening of 4cm between two bars. Determine the area of each port opening. Describe what will happen if three of the ports get blocked at the same instant, what measures can you take to handle the situation and keep the intake structure operational.
In a 20 cm wide rectangular flume, how much time it take to discharge 1 liter of water? The water is moving at a 1 cm/sec velocity and the flow is 16 cm deep.
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM DIAMETER OF THE PIPE TO MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS? NEGLECT THE LENGTH OF THE PIPE FOM THE LOWER RESERVOIR TO PUMP.
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

Three pipes of different lengths and diameters connected in series as shown discharges 169 lit/sec. If f=0.012 and disregarding minor losses, determine a. the head loss in each pipe. b. the diameter of an equivalent single pipe that could replace all the 3 pipes. ASAP
A gravity settling tank is to be used to clean wastewater for an oil refinery. The wastewater contains 1% oil by volume as small droplets ranging from 100 to 1000 microns which will be removed from the water before the latter is to be discharged into the river. The tank is of rectangular section 2 ft wide by 4 ft deep with provisions for smooth continuous discharge of clean water and skimming off of oil at the surface of the discharge end. If 10,000 gal/min of wastewater is to be cleaned of oil droplets, calculate the length of the settling tank. The specific gravity of oil is 0.87. For water, p = 1000 and μ = 1 cP. Round your answer to the nearest foot. kg m²
Water is drawn from an intake tower in Lake Ontario through a 3-km long precast reinforced concrete pipeline (Hazen-William’s C = 120) and delivered to the wet well of a low lift pumping station on shore which in turn supplies a water treatment plant. The pumping station is sized to deliver and will be operating at the maximum day flow rate of 2.65 m3/s. (a) If the design water elevation in the wet well is 70 m when the lake level is 74 m above MSL, determine the most economical pipe size for the intake (neglect local losses). (b) Compare the entrance and exit losses to the pipe friction losses to justify the assumption in (a). The entrance and exit loss coefficients can be assumed to be 1. (c) Sketch the hydraulic and energy grade lines. (d) Explain what would happen if the intake pipeline’s capacity was reduced but the pumping station is still operating at the same flow rate.

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.
