There are two vertical cylindrical tanks, one 16 meters in diameter and the other is 24 meters in diameter, both stands on the same horizontal plane, and is connected by a 0.30 meter pipe at their bases. When the valve in the pipe is closed, the depth of water in the small tank is 30 meters and the other tank is 8 meters. If the pipe valve is opened, what is the equal depth in each tank?

A water tank with a depth of h open to the atmosphere will be discharged through an outlet pipe with a diameter of 1 cm. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3, dynamic viscosity is 0.001 kg/ms.

If the pump head supplied by the pump is hp = 2 m, the pressure at the outlet is 150 kPa and the outlet flow rate = 0.001 m3/h, calculate the height h. (Take atmospheric pressure as 100 kPa).

An engineer is hired to design a swimming pool 15 m long by 6 m wide by 2 m deep. For water supply, he decides to lay 600 m of 5 cm pipe with f = 0.020 from a nearby main to the pool. The pipe will discharge freely into the pool during the entire filling process. The average pressure at the water main is 550 kPa and the difference in elevation between the two ends of the pipe is 10 m, with the discharge end higher than the intake end. Assuming that 10 % of the loss in the pipeline are due to transitions, fittings, and valves, how long will it take to fill the swimming pool?

Water is pumped from a supply reservoir to a ductile- iron water-transmission line, as shown in Figure 2.26. The high point of the transmission line is at point A, 1 km downstream of the supply reservoir, and the low point of the transmission line is at point B, 1 km downstream of A.
