Determine the flow in each pipe in the 3 reservoirs shown.
Tank A has an elevation of 100 m and Tank B has an elevation of 160 m. Since Tank A is lower than B, engineers have installed a pump near A to transfer fluid to B. The discharge in the pipe is at 0.65 cubic meters per second and pipe has a length of 1 km. with a diameter of 0.6 meters. If Hazen williams coefficient is equal to 120, compute the head loss in the pipe.
Water transfer from down reservoir to upper reservoirWater is pumped from the reservoir for drinking purposes (see figure below). The expected flow rate is 600 m3.h-1. The water passes through a pipe (diameter of 0.3 m) with a strainer, a valve and an elbow (see figure). At the pump outlet, water flows in another pipe of 0.5 m, 800 m long before reaching a second small reservoir Coefficients of minor head losses are the following: valve KL,v = 1.2, strainer KL,s = 3, elbow KL,e = 1.9. The pipe roughness is  = 0.1 mm. The Net positive suction head NPSH of the pump at the flow rate, Q= 600 m3.h-1, is 2 m. The vapor pressure of water is pvs = 2340 Pa.
