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?

01(a) There are two reservoirs, A and B, with the water surface elevation in A 10 m higher than that in B. These are connected through two pipes in series with pipe 1 starting from A and pipe 2 ending in B. Lengths of both the pipes are 100 m, diameter of pipe 1 is 30 cm and diameter of pipe 2 is 25 cm. At the junction of these pipes, water is being withdrawn at the L v² D 2g rate of 0.02 m³/s. Friction loss in the pipes is given by h = f and the Darcy friction, f, entrance and at the junction, for both pipes is 0.02. Neglecting the head losses at the estimate the total water withdrawal from reservoir A.

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.
