Consider the figure shown below. If the flow rate of water from the tank is 0.03 m/s, the pressure at point 2 is 120kPa. Height of water in the tank is 4m and the pipe diameter is 160mm with a friction factor of 0.020. Solve for the height h if the branch line is shut off, and if the branch line is open so that half of the flow from the tank goes into the branch and half continues in the main line. Determine the difference in the head losses in both directions. Neglect minor losses. Vent 4m 160mmØ pipe Branch Line 1.75m B. Main Line 300m 200m ANSWER: a. h = 13.918m, b. h = 10.585m c. HL = 3.2479m %3D %3D
