Question
Two reservoirs are connected by a pipeline consisting of pipe 1, pipe 2, pipe 3
connected in series with length of 170 m, 300 m, 210 m respectively. The
different in water surface levels in two reservoirs is 12 m. The friction coefficient
for pipe 1, pipe 2 and pipe 3 are 0.0052, 0.005 and 0.0048 respectively. Based on
Table 2 and the setting given, determine the flowrate of the flow if the entrance
loss coefficient is 0.25 considering :
(i) minor losses; and
(ii) neglecting minor losses
pipe 1 =230(mm)
Pipe 2 =330(mm)
Pipe 3 = 430(mm)
