2. You're designing a stilling basin and you need to know the minimum length of that basin and also how much energy loss will be achieved before flow is released into the downstream channel. Given the basin width is 10-feet, the flow rate is 240 CFS, the upstream froude number is found from hydraulic modeling to be 4.0. Solve the following: • Minimum length of the stilling basin. • Energy loss within the stilling basin (Calculate both energy loss in feet and in tons). • The depth of water being released outside of the stilling basin. • The Froude Number being released from the Stilling Basin. • Look at USBR Design of Small Dams and Write a paragraph (4-5 sentences) of the recommended stilling basin you would propose for the hydraulic scenario.
Flow takes place between three reservoirs, as shown in Figure 1. The volume flow rate out of reservoirs A and B is 0.15 m3/s and 0.25 m/s respectively. If the coefficient of friction for the three pipes is 0.008, determine the relative elevations of the free surfaces. Neglect all losses other than friction. hA h8 L2, D2 L1, D1 L1 = 1000 m L2 = 1500 m L3 = 2000 m D1= 200 mm D2 = 250 mm = 400 mm L3, D; hc %3D D3 = Figure 1: A three reservoirsystem
A pipeline, 50 cm diameter and 4,500 m long, connects two reservoirs whom constant difference of water level is 12 m. A branch pipe, 1,250 m long and taken from a point distant 1,500 m from reservoir A, leads to reservoir C whose water level is 15 m below that of reservoir A. Find the diameter, in centimeters, of the branch pipe, so that the flow into both the reservoirs is the same. Assume friction coefficient ƒ = 0.03 for all the pipes.
A single -acting reciprocal pump lifts a liquid of specific weight 7.50 kN/m³ from a pressurised storeage reservoir to an overhead container. The free surface in the supply reservoir is at an elevation of 5.0 m above the centre of the pump. The ambient pressure over the liquid surface in the supply resevoir is 20 kN/m². The other relevant data relating to the pump are as follows: Length of suction pipe = 5.0 m Crank Speed= 60 rpm Diameter of suction pipe = 10 cm Length of Stroke = 40 cm Diameter of cylinder = 20 cm Atmospheric presure = 100 kN/m²(abs) Calculate the pressure in the cylinder and force on the piston at the beginning of the suction stroke.
