- 1) Assuming that water at 20 C is flowing through the system at a constant flow rate of 2 ft³/sec and neglecting viscous effects, calculate the EL and HGL at points A, B, and C. Sketch the EL and HGL alongside the diagram. A ZA = 55 ft D₁ = 3 in B D₂ = 6 in C 2) What is the elevation at point C in the above figure? 3) Using the figure from problem 1, sketch the EL and HGL accounting for both major and minor losses. Note that the flow rate will change due to the introduction of friction (we will explore this further in the coming weeks). You do not need to calculate the values of EL and HGL.arrow_forward8) Carbon dioxide at 20 C is transported through a pipe of 0.1 m in diameter. What is the maximum flow rate possible to achieve laminar flow?arrow_forward7) In the below diagram, the pipe diameter is 10 cm and the flow rate in the pipe is 0.3 m³/sec. At this flow rate, the pump will generate 90 m of head. The pressure at point A is 500 Pa and the water in the pipe is at 60 C. a) Taking the datum to be at the centerline of the pump, calculate the EL and HGL at points A and B, neglecting friction. b) What is the pressure at point B?

The channel has a uniform width of b 10 m, and it is equipped with a broad-crested weir. The height of flow in a channel far upstream of the weir is h₁ 2 m, while the weir is == hweir = 0.8 m above the bed of the channel. = 1. Assuming the flow over the weir is critical, calculate the flow rate in the channel by iteratively solving for the critical depth he. Perform at least 3 iterations. Did the flow rate converge? 2. Given the water depth immediately downstream of the weir is 90% of the critical depth hc, what is the water depth after the flow experiences a hydraulic jump further downstream? 3. How much energy is dissipated by the hydraulic jump? h₁ hweir Figure 7: A subcritical flow goes over a broad-crested weir, and it experiences a hydraulic jump downstream of the weir.
