Two pipes 1 and 2 are connected in series. Pipe 1 is 200 mm in diameter and 300 m long while pipe 2 is 250 mm in diameter and 200 m long. Determine the total head loss of the pipes in series neglecting minor losses if the discharge is 128 liters per second. Use f=0.02 for all pipes.
A dam supplies to a suburban area using a 0.21m diameter pipeline that is 800m long. For the water to reach the intended reservoir, a pump is needed to raise the flow to a point 125m above the pump. If the flow within the pipe is 0.11 m3/s, determine the savings in horsepower if the engineers decided to replace the old pipe (f = 0.034 with a new 0.29m diameter pipe with f = 0.024.
