A wood-stave pipe 120m long is to carry 3,400liters/sec across a ravine. Water enters one end of the pipe from an open flume, and discharge at the other end into another flume, and discharges at the other end into another flume. If the difference in elevation between the water surface in the flume is to be 1m, determine the necessary diameter of pipe, assuming well-designed transition (k=0.10, ke=0.20) and neglecting the effect of velocity in the flumes. Use f=0.013.

Highway Drainage

Highway drainage is the process of extracting and regulating the excess surface water on the pavement by giving the desired slope. The construction of a highway drain helps to divert the water present on the surface, and sub-grade by the means of slope. Highway drainage systems are a necessary part of smooth functioning of traffic, since the highway drainage systems provide proper disposal of unwanted substances from the highways.

Question

A wood-stave pipe 120m long is to carry 3,400liters/sec across a ravine. Water enters one
end of the pipe from an open flume, and discharge at the other end into another flume, and
