Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Graph Analysis:**
The graph shows the Energy Grade Line (EGL) as a solid line and the Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) as a dashed line. These lines are plotted against the distance \( x \) in thousands of feet from 0 to 30 ft. The elevation is given in feet on the vertical axis from 0 to 30 ft.
There are two turbines shown on the graph, indicated by the letter "T." The first turbine is located near \( x = 10,000 \) ft, and the second turbine near \( x = 20,000 \) ft. The EGL has a noticeable drop at each turbine, representing extraction of energy or head loss due to the turbines. The first turbine extracts \(\Delta H = 10 \) ft, and the second turbine extracts \(\Delta H = 5 \) ft.
The HGL runs parallel below the EGL, separated by a constant velocity head, given by \( V^2/(2g) \).
**Problem Statement:**
Add the energy grade line (EGL) as a solid line and the hydraulic grade line (HGL) as a dashed line to the figure. Enter the corresponding numbers in the table. Assume steady incompressible flow from left to right. At point A, the pressure head \( P/\gamma = 8 \) ft and the velocity is \( V = 8 \) ft/s.
**Table to Fill:**
1. **\( \mathbf{A} \)**:
- \( P/\gamma \)
- \( z \)
- \( V^2/(2g) \)
- EGL
- HGL
2. **\( \mathbf{B, C, D, E, F} \)**:
- The same fields as A, each to be filled out as the evaluation continues across the points with the effect of turbines adjusted as given.
In each section of the table, calculate the respective head values and enter them as determined from the characteristics and interactions described (energy extraction and flow properties).
