Question
A 1m diameter commercial steel pipe that is 2km in length carries water (20°C) from
reservoir A to reservoir B. The difference in elevation between the two reservoir surfaces is 150m.

- Water resources engineering Please refer to the attached image. The new cat iron pipe carrying a flow of 0.3 ft3/s becomes divided at point B and rejoins at point C. The elevation at the reservior surface is 1300 feet. The elevation at point D is 560 feet. The pipe diameters and lengths are listed below. What is the pressure at point D? Neglect minor losses. Use the Darcy-Weisbach approach and assume fully turbulent flow. Verify this assumption for one of the pipes. If the assumption is not perfect, iteration is not necessary, just verify and comment.

- Problem 5 Consider a three-reservoir problem with the following characteristics. L₁ = 95 m L₂ = 125 m L3 = 180 m Z₁ = 25 m Z₂ = 115 m z3 = 85 m (a) All three pipes are constructed of 28 cm, unfinished concrete (e = 1 mm). If water at 20 ºC flows through the pipes, compute the steady flow rate in each pipe (magnitude and direction). (b) Reduce the diameter of all the pipe to 15 cm, unfinished concrete (€ = 1 mm) and show that the flow rates distribute in nearly the same manner but are about 5.2 times lower.
