An engineer is hired to design a swimming pool 15 m long by 6 m wide by 2 m deep. For water supply, he decides to lay 600 m of 5 cm pipe with f = 0.020 from a nearby main to the pool. The pipe will discharge freely into the pool during the entire filling process. The average pressure at the water main is 550 kPa and the difference in elevation between the two ends of the pipe is 10 m, with the discharge end higher than the intake end. Assuming that 10 % of the loss in the pipeline are due to transitions, fittings, and valves, how long will it take to fill the swimming pool?

Water is pumped from a supply reservoir to a ductile- iron water-transmission line, as shown in Figure 2.26. The high point of the transmission line is at point A, 1 km downstream of the supply reservoir, and the low point of the transmission line is at point B, 1 km downstream of A. If the flow rate through the pipeline is 1 m3/s, the diameter of the pipe is 750 mm, and the pressure at A is to be 350 kPa, then: (a) estimate the head that must be added by the pump; (b) estimate the power supplied by the pump; and (c) calculate the water pressure at B.
