Question
Three reservoirs A, B, and C are connected respectively with pipes 1, 2, and 3 joining
at a common junction P. Reservoir A is at elevation 80 m, reservoir B at elevation 70
m and reservoir C is at elevation 60 m. The properties of each pipe are as follows:
L = 5000 m, D = 300 mm
L=4000 m, D = 250 mm
Pipe 1:
Pipe 2:
Pipe 3: L=3500 m
The flow from reservoir A to junction P is 0.045 m³/s and f for all pipes is 0.018.
1. Find the elevation of the energy grade line at P in m.
A. 75.512
B. 73.805
C. 72.021
D. 74.173
2. Determine the flow on pipe 2 in m³/s.
A. 0.025
B. 0.031
C. 0.029
D. 0.036
3. Compute the diameter appropriate for pipe 3 in mm.
A. 175
B. 170
C. 178
D. 172
