A town with a population of 150000 people is supplied with water through a pipeline from a reservoir 100 km away. Water is consumed by the population at the rate of 130 litre/person/day. The supply is continuous. Considering only the friction loss, find the suitable size of the pipeline. The difference of levels between the reservoir water surface and center line of the pipeline at the town end is 45 m. Take friction factor: f = 0.04.

Two reservoirs are connected by two pipes in series,as shown below. Determine the flow rate using ken = 0.55 and kex= 1.8. Use the explicit form of the Colebrook-White equationdeveloped by Moody to solve for the friction factors. Let μ =1.003x10-3 kg/m-s
A dam releases water into a spillway, and then some distance downstream a hydraulic jump occurs. The dam height is 25 m, the initial depth in the spillway is 1 m, and the hydraulic jump leads to a region of depth 15 m. Upstream of the dam may be considered a reservoir. Determine the average velocity before the jump and whether the jump will occur. If there will be a jump, determine the velocity after the hydraulic jump, neglecting any friction losses.
