Consider the two reservoirs shown in the figure, connected by a single pipe that changes diameter over its length. The surfaces of the two reservoirs have a difference in level of 9m. The pipe has a diameter of 200 mm for the first 15m (from Reservoir A to C) then a diameter of 250 mm for the remaining 45m (from C to Reservoir B). For the entrance loss use k 0.5, 12. and for exit loss use k = 1.0. The expansion at C is sudden. For both pipes, f= 0.01. Find the %3D steady-state flow rate, Q, through the pipes. HINT: Consider series pipe head loss concept with Darcy-Weisbach friction loss formula. pipe 1 W diameter d, =,2m length L, = 15m 9m pipe 2 diameter d,-.25m length L, -45m B

Transcribed Image Text:Consider the two reservoirs shown in the figure, connected by a single pipe that changes
diameter over its length. The surfaces of the two reservoirs have a difference in level of 9m.
The pipe has a diameter of 200 mm for the first 15m (from Reservoir A to C) then a diameter
of 250 mm for the remaining 45m (from C to Reservoir B). For the entrance loss use k = 0.5,

and for exit loss use k = 1.0. The expansion at C is sudden. For both pipes, f=0.01. Find the
steady-state flow rate, Q, through the pipes. HINT: Consider series pipe head loss concept
with Darcy-Weisbach friction loss formula.
