A dam supplies to a suburban area using a 0.21m diameter pipeline that is 800m long. For the water to reach the intended reservoir, a pump is needed to raise the flow to a point 125m above the pump. If the flow within the pipe is 0.11 m3/s, determine the savings in horsepower if the engineers decided to replace the old pipe (f = 0.034 with a new 0.29m diameter pipe with f = 0.024.
3. At a particular time, the storage in a river reach is 60 x 10³ m³. At that time, the inflow into the reach is 10 m³/s and the outflow is 16 m³/s. after two hours, the inflow and the outflow are 18 m3/s and 20 m³/s respectively. Determine the change in storage during two hours period and the storage volume after two hours. 4 500 x 106 m³ of water has been stored in the reservoir of a dam at the beginning of November
