A steel pipe is used to drain water from a reservoir that is 50 m above the datum, and water is discharged into the air at the elevation of the datum. The pipe is 1500 m long and 450 mm diameter and 50 mm wall thickness. A valve is installed at the downstream end of the pipe allows a flow rate of 0.71 m³/s. The valve was completely closed in 1.4 sec. Calculate maximum hammer pressure at the valve. The pipe is longitudinally anchored. Eb = 2.1×10° N/m², Ec=1.9×10¹¹ N/m².

SITUATION 4: Water is drained from a large reservoir using two horizontal pipes connected in series. The first pipe is 20 m long and has a 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 center line of the pipe. The pipe entrance is a sharp edged, and the contraction between the two pipes is sudden. Neglecting the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, determine the discharge rate of water from the reservoir. Assume the friction factor for all pipes is equal to 0.02 and the loss coefficient is 0.05 for a sharp edged entrance, and is 0.46 for sudden contraction. 18 m Oil tank 20 m 35 m
