Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 28CP
During steady and uniform flow through an open channel of rectangular cross section, a person claims that the specific energy of the fluid remains constant. A second person claims that the specific energy decreases along the flow because of the frictional effects and thus head loss. With which person do you agree? Explain.

A long 1.5 km pipeline with size of 300 mm laid between two reservouirs having difference
in surface elevation of 24 m carries a maximum flowrate of 0.15m/s. A 600 m parallel
pipe of the same size and friction factor is looped beside this one and connected to it as
shown in figure. What is the expected increase in maxmum flowrate.
24 m
900 m
600 m
At the end of the summer, a swimming pool is being drained through a very long,small-diameter hose. The hose is smooth, of inner diameter D = 6.0 cm,and of length L = 65 m. The initial height difference from the pool surface to theoutlet of the hose is H = 2.20 m. Calculate the volume flow rate in litres per minute(LPM) at the start of draining.
This problem is useful for the preliminary design of a hydroturbine. From the material learned in this chapter, it is fairly simple to estimate how much power a hydroturbine can generate, given only the flow rate of water and the elevation difference upstream and downstream of the dam. A dam has a gross head of 15.5 m and a flow rate of 0.22 m3 /s. Approximating the overall efficiency of the turbine/generator to be 75%, estimate the electrical power (in kW) that couldbe produced.
