Question
(b) Water is drained from a large reservoir using two horizontal pipes connected in series as
shown in Figure Q3(b). The first pipe is 20 m long with 10 cm diameter, while the second
pipe is 35 m long and has a 4 cm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 18 m above
the centerline of the pipe. Table Q3(b) shows the friction factor and loss coefficient for
each pipe or fittings. Determine the velocity at the second pipe, discharge rate of water
and the total head loss. Can you identify the material used in manufacturing the pipe?
