Question
Three reservoirs A, B and C whose water surface elevations are 60ft, 50ft and 32 ft respectively, are interconnected by a pipe system with a common junction at elevation 35ft. All pipes have a frictional factor of 0.020 and are as described as follows
1. Illustrate the problem
2. What is the direction of flow into reservoir B?
3. Determine the flow from reservoir B in ft^3/s. Indicate if it is Toward or away from junction D.
4. Determine the flow from reservoir C in ft^3/s. Indicate if it is Toward or away from junction D.

- Please help me show work i leave thumbs up Thank you so mucharrow_forwardThe reservoir's water flow traverses a 15-meter-long spillway, lowering the water's height from 83 meters to 81.5 meters, with the crest elevation at 80 meters, in 30 minutes. Apply C = 1.84. A) What is the reservoir's area?B) How long does it take to extract water from an elevation of 83 m/80.2 m? C) After 20 minutes, what is the water's ultimate elevation?arrow_forward3. Water is moving between two reservoirs at a flow rate of 0.08 m³/s via the pipes shown in the diagram (D₁ = 10 cm, D₂ = 20 cm). Assume both pipes have a roughness ks = 0.08 mm. If the difference in water surface elevation between the two reservoirs is 70 m and L₁ = 50 m, what is the length of the larger pipe (L2)? Further, what is the entrance length of pipe 1? For what fraction of the length of pipe 1 is flow fully developed? Include form losses due to pipe components (entrance, expansion, and exit) in your calculations. For more info on component losses, use Table 10.5 and 0 = 180°. Water T = 20°C D₁ D₂ 1₂2.arrow_forward
- I have the answers to the question provided below in a seperate picture, I just dont know how to get them. I will rate your answer, thank you.arrow_forwardA 0.5-m-diameterconcrele pipe (5.0 cm wall thickness with rigid pipe walls) carries water 600 m before discharging it into another reservoir. The surface elevation of the downstream reservoir is 55 m lower than the supply reservoir. A gate valve just upstream of the lower reservoir controls The flow rate. If the valve is dosed in 0.65 sec, what is the maximum water hammer pressure?arrow_forwardA) A fully penetrating unconfined well of 12 in. The diameter is pumped at a rate of 1 ft^3/sec. The coefficient of permeability is 750 gal/day per square foot. The drawdown in an observation well located 200 ft away from the pumping well is 10 ft below its original depth of 150 ft. Find the water level in the well. B) In addition to the requested information, calculate the radius of influence for the well (in ft). You will get an extremely large and unreasonable value (in the millions...pinky to corner of mouth required). C) Then develop a plot of the water surface profile for the well during pumping. Orient the plot so that the x-axis represents the distance from the production well (and looks like the bottom of the aquifer (i.e., the datum)) and the pumping well is represented by the y-axis and shows the water depth (in feet) in the aquifer. I recommend selecting small intervals (10-20 feet) of x-axis values between the y-axis and 500 feet. Then use increments of 1,000-1,000,000 as…arrow_forward
- Three new cast-iron pipes connected in series have diameters of 30 cm, 25 cm, and 20 cm, each being 200 m long. The largest pipe leads from a reservoir and the smallest discharges into the air. Determine the total head loss when the discharge is 100 liters per second. What must be the elevation of the outlet end of the pipe with respect to the water surface elevation in the reservoir? n for Manning’s equation is 0.011 and the minor head loss due to contraction is 30% of the velocity head on the pipe after the change in cross in the direction of flow. Draw the approximate EGL and HGL.arrow_forwardPlease explain the answer.arrow_forward(a) Using the Pipe flow graph (Appendix 2), obtain the discharge through the pipeline joining the two reservoirs as shown below.
