A 50 mm diameter siphon discharges water from a reservoir (Point 1 elev = 20m) into open air (Point 3 elev. 10m). The head loss from the reservoir (point 1) to the summit (point 2 elev = 22m) is 3 times the velocity head in the siphon and head loss from the- summit to the discharge end is 4 times the velocity head in the siphon. Determine the velocity in the siphon in m/s?

Question
A 50 mm diameter siphon discharges water from a reservoir (Point 1 elev 20m) into
open air (Point 3 elev. 10m). The head loss from the reservoir (point 1) to the summit
(point 2 elev =22m) is 3 times the velocity head in the siphon and head loss from the
summit to the discharge end is 4 times the velocity head in the siphon. Determine the
velocity in the siphon in m/s?
