Three Reservoirs A B and C are connected by pipes 1, 2 and 3 respectively which meets at the junction X. The water surface at reservoir B is 6 m. below that of A while junction X is 12 m. below the surface of A. When the pressure head at junction X is 9 m, compute the rate of flow into reservoir C in liters/sec. Pipe 1 (D=300 mm; L = 450 m; f=0.0198) Pipe 2 (D=150 mm; L = 240 m; f=0.0175) Pipe 3 (D=200 mm; L = 360 m; f=0.0168)   Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Question

Three Reservoirs A B and C are connected by pipes 1, 2 and 3 respectively which meets at the junction X. The water surface at reservoir B is 6 m. below that of A while junction X is 12 m. below the surface of A. When the pressure head at junction X is 9 m, compute the rate of flow into reservoir C in liters/sec.

Pipe 1 (D=300 mm; L = 450 m; f=0.0198)

Pipe 2 (D=150 mm; L = 240 m; f=0.0175)

Pipe 3 (D=200 mm; L = 360 m; f=0.0168)

 

Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
