Consider water flow from the upper reservoir (1) to the lower reservoir (2) through two pipes of the same diameter D=2 inches and a turbine with head h=40 ft. The head loss h, associated with this flow is 4V2/(2g) for each pipe (8V2/(2g) total) where V is the velocity in the pipes. Note, exit loss for lower pipe is included in 4V2/(2g). Specific weight of water equals y=62.4 lb/ft³ and g=32.2 ft/s². Calculate the flow out of the reservoir. Calculate the power of the turbine in horsepower. Calculate the head loss in feet. • Sketch the energy and the hydraulic grade line. • Calculate pressure at point A. Calculate the flow if turbine is absent.
