Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 8: EGL and HGL (IV)**
Consider a storage reservoir with a water surface elevation of 270 m. It is connected to a closed conduit (i.e., a pipe) that carries water down to a turbine at an elevation of 60 m. The friction head loss in the conduit is 20 m.
**Part A**
At point D, what are the pressure head \( P/\gamma \), the elevation head \( z \), and the HGL?
**Part B**
Copy the diagram below. If the conduit is a closed pipe flowing full, is the velocity head \( V^2/(2g) \) constant from D to E? Answer yes or no, then sketch the EGL above the pipe from D to E. Use a solid line.
**Diagram Explanation**
- The diagram depicts a pipe connecting two elevations: point D at 270 m and point E at 60 m.
- The turbine (T) is located at the lower elevation.
- A line represents the pipe descending from point D to point E.
**Part C**
Based on your answer to Part B, sketch the HGL from D to E. Use a dashed line.
**Part D**
Now assume the conduit is an open channel. Copy the diagram below. Is the velocity head \( V^2/(2g) \) constant from D to E? Answer yes or no, then sketch the EGL above the pipe from D to E. Use a solid line.
**Diagram Explanation**
- The scenario is now an open channel, but similar elevation points (D at 270 m and E at 60 m) and a turbine are shown.
**Part E**
Based on your answer to Part D, sketch the HGL from D to E. Use a dashed line.
