Consider a pump-pipeline system that delivers flow from reservoir A to B with EA = 100 ft and En = 120 ft. The pipe has a length of L = 2,800 ft, diameter of D= 2 ft, and a Hazen Williams coefficient of CHw = 100. The pump characteristics are tabulated below and minor losses (in feet) accumulate at the rate of 0.01*Q? where Q is the flow in cfs. Estimate the flow rate and the velocity in the pipeline.

A 170-m long pipeline, composed of two pipes connected in series, discharges freely at a point 40 m below the water level at intake. The pipe projects into the reservoir. The first 100 m is 25 cm in diameter, and the remaining 70 m is 15 cm in diameter. Assuming that f=0.05 for both pipes, (a) find the rate of flow. If the junction of the two sizes of pipe is 25 m below the intake water-surface level, find the pressure head just above C and just below C, where C denotes the point of junction.
