A water pipe ABC (i.e. A to B to C) comprises two (2) straight sections. AB is horizontal tapering uniformly from 300 mm diameter at A to 225 mm diameter at B. The diameter between B and C remains constant at 225 mm. When the flow rate is 95 L/s the pressures in the pipe are 100 kPa at B and 200 kPa at C. Note BC is NOT horizontal. Ignoring pipe friction: a) b) Compute the pressure in the pipeline at A. Compute the elevation of C relative to B. (Note: Sketch the problem and show all your workings in a clear and appropriate way).

Please solve showing sketch please

A water pipe ABC (i.e. A to B to C) comprises two (2) straight sections. AB is horizontal tapering
uniformly from 300 mm diameter at A to 225 mm diameter at B. The diameter between B and C remains
constant at 225 mm. When the flow rate is 95 L/s the pressures in the pipe are 100 kPa at B and 200
kPa at C. Note BC is NOT horizontal. Ignoring pipe friction:
a)
b)
Compute the pressure in the pipeline at A.
Compute the elevation of C relative to B.
(Note: Sketch the problem and show all your workings in a clear and appropriate way).
