Transcribed Image Text:Two water reservoirs are connected by a siphon
(running full) of total length 5000 m and diameter
of 0.10 m, as shown below (figure not drawn to
scale).
Th=?

The inlet leg length of the siphon to its summit
is 2000 m. The difference in the water surface
levels of the two reservoirs is 5m. Assume the
permissible minimum absolute pressure at the
summit of siphon to be 2.5m of water when
running full. Given: friction factor f = 0.02
throughout, atmospheric pressure = 10.3 m
of water, and acceleration due to gravity
g= 9.81 m/s². Considering only major loss using
Darcy-Weisbach equation the maximum height
of the summit of siphon from the water level of
upper reservoir, h (in m round off to 1 decimal
place) is
