Question
Consider a pipe that has a diameter D = 18 inches and a length L = 2,000 feet. The pipe delivers water from an
upper reservoir to a lower reservoir. The water surface elevation of the upper reservoir is 50 feet and the
water surface elevation of the lower reservoir is 0 feet. The water temperature is 50°F. Use the Darcy-
Weisbach equation with a friction factor f = 0.0125 to evaluate the friction head loss hfric. Assume that minor
losses are equivalent to 15% of the friction head losses (i.e., hminar = 0.15 x hfic So total head loss hi total = hfic +
hminar = 1.15 x hfnc).
a) Determine the flow in cubic feet per second (cfs).
b) Determine the friction head loss hfñic in feet.
c) Determine the minor head loss hminar in feet.
d) Does hfric + hminer = 50 feet? If yes, GREAT! If not, find your mistake.
