Two reservoirs A and B is connected by a 250mm-dia. pipe which is 1000m long. Reservoir B is 8 meters below that of A. Other reservoirs C and D are also connected by a 300mm-dia. pipe, 2,200m long with reservoir D 10m below that of C and reservoir C is also 4m below that of A. In order to increase the quantity of water entering reservoir D, the two pipelines AB and CD are connected by a pipeline EF which is 1800m long which branches from the 250mm-dia. at a point E 400 meters from A and connects with the 300mm-dia. pipe at F 800 meters from reservoir D. a). Determine the quantity of water flowing towards B and D if 27 liters per second flow through pipe EF. Assume friction factor f to be 0.022 for all pipes. Consider only friction losses. b). Determine also the diameter of the pipe EF to carry 27 liters/sec.
