The outflow rate (O) and storage (S) for the emergency spillway are linearly related as O = S/10,000. Where, O andS are respectively in m3/s and m3. Based on the assumption that at the beginning (i.e., time = 0.0 hour), the storage,the inflow rate, and the outflow rate are all equal to zero; determine the outflow rate from the reservoir at the endof 2 hours period if the inflow rate is 500 m3/s.
Three new cast-iron pipes connected in series have diameters of 30 cm, 25 cm, and 20 cm, each being 200 m long. The largest pipe leads from a reservoir and the smallest discharges into the air. Determine the total head loss when the discharge is 100 liters per second. What must be the elevation of the outlet end of the pipe with respect to the water surface elevation in the reservoir? n for Manning’s equation is 0.011 and the minor head loss due to contraction is 30% of the velocity head on the pipe after the change in cross in the direction of flow. Draw the approximate EGL and HGL.

A 7350 m long, 1050 mm concrete pipeline connects an upstream reservoir (watersurface elevation 433.3 m) to a downstream reservoir (water surface elevation 423.1 m). Adischarge valve at the downstream end is used to control flow; when this valve is fully open,the measured discharge in the pipeline is 920 L/s under the naturally available head difference.(a) Assuming fully developed turbulent flow and that all other local losses are negligible,estimate the loss coefficient k for the fully open valve (assume f = 0.015).(b) Because of increasing urban development, the flow under the natural head difference isconsidered to be inadequate and it is proposed to increase this flow with pumping. The head-capacity curve for the pump can be approximated by the equation H = 8 – 3.5Q2 in which H isthe total dynamic head on the pump (in m) and Q is the discharge (in m3/s). What is thedischarge that can now be obtained from the system where the pump is installed at a cross-section of the pipeline?

Water is drawn from an intake tower in Lake Ontario through a 3-km long precast reinforced concrete pipeline (Hazen-William’s C = 120) and delivered to the wet well of a low lift pumping station on shore which in turn supplies a water treatment plant. The pumping station is sized to deliver and will be operating at the maximum day flow rate of 2.65 m3/s. (a) If the design water elevation in the wet well is 70 m when the lake level is 74 m above MSL, determine the most economical pipe size for the intake (neglect local losses). (b) Compare the entrance and exit losses to the pipe friction losses to justify the assumption in (a). The entrance and exit loss coefficients can be assumed to be 1. (c) Sketch the hydraulic and energy grade lines. (d) Explain what would happen if the intake pipeline’s capacity was reduced but the pumping station is still operating at the same flow rate.
